All are welcome!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abstract<\/strong><br \/>\n<u><\/u>Mental wellbeing, of both students and staff, is a significant issue in further and higher education. Increasing numbers of students are experiencing mental health difficulties, and staff are increasingly under pressure. Technology-enhanced learning is uniquely positioned to make a change for good in the sector, support hard-to-reach students and make positive changes to practice. Funded by Office for Students, the Positive Digital Practices project is scaling up positive practices in technology-enhanced learning in three key areas:<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Positive learner identities &#8211; with digital tools to support students\u2019 emotional awareness, encourage help-seeking behaviour, recognise achievements and value learning opportunities<\/li>\n<li>Positive digital communities &#8211; supporting students\u2019 sense of belonging and purpose, provide informal peer support and facilitate meaningful connections that do not rely on a campus environment<\/li>\n<li>Positive digital pedagogies &#8211; supporting learners to take part in and demonstrate technology-enhanced learning in a way that is inclusive and supports mental wellbeing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this event, we will explore digital resources being developed in these three areas; will seek critical feedback from participants and will explore opportunities for practitioners to work together to pilot the digital tools and resources in further and higher education.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bio<\/strong><br \/>\nKate Lister is Head of Academic Professional Development at Arden University, and is a researcher at the OU, leading the Positive Digital Practices project. Her research interests centre around accessibility, inclusion and equity in distance and technology-enhanced learning, and embedding wellbeing in curricula and practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>open &amp; Inclusive Special Interest Group Tuesday 28th June (14:00 &#8211; 15:30 BST) Open &amp; Inclusive Special Interest Group: Positive Digital Practices, Kate Lister Link to Recording Join us online [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":0,"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,14],"tags":[110,54,109],"class_list":["post-2943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","category-open-inclusive","tag-arden","tag-kate-lister","tag-positive-digital-practices"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2943"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2943\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2964,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2943\/revisions\/2964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
