Advance HE Teaching & Learning Conference 2018: Impressions from global teaching: Implications in using mobile interactivity to enhance student engagement

As Mann et al (2009) have noted a lack of student engagement in lectures is a significant factor in diminished academic achievement. Following on from a conference presentation in Pretoria South Africa and drawing on the speaker’s experience teaching in China the Middle East and Czech Republic this talk will go over a mechanism for student engagement. Cultural and demographic factors can hamper student lecturer interaction and the lecture format can sometimes inhibit active learning. This talk will cover a solution implemented at King’s College London to help engage students and help with active learning using mobile devices.
