Teaching and Learning Conference 2019: Take a picture of religion: Engaging students at a distance through digital photography

This paper critically considers the pedagogical value of innovative activities that allow students to share and comment on each other's digital photographs sound recordings and texts on an online platform. It assesses the strengths and limitations of this approach to personalised multi-sensory learning through digital technologies in HE with a particular focus on the impact on student engagement with complex concepts in blended and distance learning contexts. It is based on a case study exploring small group activities both assessed and unassessed that form part of a Religious Studies course (A227 ‘Exploring Religion: Places Practices Texts and Experiences’) at the Open University.
