What is LDCU?
The LDCU takes a community-of-practice approach to supporting the design and development of technology-enhanced active learning to enhance the student experience.
The LDCU follows a pedagogy-first approach, exploring technology as a potential enabler within teaching and learning. Through evidence-informed discussions, collaboration and co-design the LDCU provides an opportunity for staff and students to come together, share experiences and develop/explore ideas around the design of creative, inclusive and accessible technology-enhanced active learning
Consultancy
The LDCU is made up of volunteers from across Warwick who support and champion innovative approaches to blended learning. If you have a question about blended learning and would like to develop an idea further we have a team of colleagues who would be happy to help.
Peer Dialogue Connect is another great resource available via WIHEA Connect that may also be of interest.

TEAL
The term Technology Enhanced Active Learning (TEAL) is used to incorporate all forms of teaching and learning supported by technology. In our move to more blended, distance and flexible online delivery the term TEAL, is used to capture the shift in focus towards the more active participation of the student.
