Keynote speakers will reflect different perspectives of the Games which can stimulate developmental initiatives, for example:

• “Capturing Olympic and Paralympic Values in the Curriculum”
• “Critical examination of the Olympic Legacies aspired to by the Games organisers - their relevance in the HLST group of subjects and in HE generally”
• “Olympic and Paralympic Research and its implications for curriculum development”

Workshop sessions will provide opportunities to share developmental initiatives in learning, teaching and assessment in which the Games can be used to revitalise the learning experience of students and to engage them with learning. There will also be a display of posters describing further work in this area its impact.

The HLST was established in May 2000 as part the Learning and Teaching Support Network, which in turn then became part of the Higher Education Academy. There are 24 Subject Centres across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland in total. To find out more click here.
