The world of work is changing. We are more interconnected than ever before. Remote working has enabled us to stay connected and work together across time zones, over distance, and through a global pandemic. Online learning has taken giant leaps forward – the use of multimedia, open resources, and new technologies allow for greater student choice and control, anytime/anywhere learning, and better access to the universe of knowledge that waits at our fingertips.
We have a team dedicated to the delivery of a learning experience that prepares LIS graduates for the modern workplace. This team includes entrepreneurs who have scaled fast growth digital start-ups, educationalists specialised in the design and delivery of both the online and offline teaching experience, and academics who have joined us from world-class institutions. Teaching is a learning process. And a process that, as an institution, we will continue to iterate, and embrace change where needed.
We recently ran an online programme to learn how teaching methods may adapt in a new era of education, in which more remote learning and online collaboration are becoming the new norm. We hosted participants from all over the world, including Colombia, Sweden, South Korea, the United States, France, Germany, Mexico, India, and the UK. During the space of five short weeks, we delivered two virtual gallery exhibitions and collaborated across mediums, using a wide range of digital tools.
At LIS, we’ll use online learning where it works best — for lectures, workshops, and interactive coding groups. But where meeting face-to-face is more valuable — for example for practical learning, one-to-ones, and small group teaching — we will always endeavour to make it happen.
Our physical site will be an important hub for you to learn and socialise together. We don’t know what the world will bring us in 2021, or what restrictions will be in place; but we’re committed to giving you an excellent and safe educational experience that brings together the best of online and face-to-face teaching and learning.
