Many have changed to either virtual conferences [Online, Zoom, Livestream, ... ], or hybrid formats with a combination of face-to-face and virtual presentations. Difficulties with overseas travel have caused us not to include a number of conferences that may previously have been considered for inclusion. In the current climate, you should also monitor potential selections to ensure they remain viable.

Enhancing Learning Outcomes in Higher Education - 2023 Symposium ‘Worldwide, higher education is being transformed, whereby long-established traditions in learning and teaching are challenged by a complex of often competing strands of influences. As part of this flux, in many western and many western-influenced countries, higher education has undergone a transformative philosophical shift, resulting in institutions in higher education becoming increasingly corporatised. One result of this shift has been a change in emphasis from the education processes toward perceiving education as more of a measurable product. One commensurate focus of that product lies in the anticipated student learning outcomes [Harden, 2002, p. 151], which are increasingly aligned to the broader university achievement measures, namely graduate attributes. Under this scenario, learning outcomes represent a sea change in higher education philosophy, whereby quality measurements, as determined through assessment processes, are increasingly foregrounded’.
