PRESENTATIONS



Abegglen, S., Neuhaus, F. & Schneider, S. (2023, April 26-28). Hybrid Play for Collective Learning. 2023 Postsecondary Conference on Learning and Teaching. Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning, University of Calgary.



Abstract
With the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic, academics across the spectrum have been forced to adapt their teaching. In this context, hybrid education has gained momentum, an approach that combines face-to-face and online learning, as classes had to be shifted continuously between the digital and the physical classroom. The Playful Hybrid Higher Education project, situated in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape, explores faculty and student experiences in the hybrid classroom to develop guidance for faculty on the new education model. In this digital poster presentation, we share our experiences of doing the literature review differently, more playfully, and showcase initial results. We argue that research projects like this can help foster not only the development of new pedagogical approaches but also creative academic (research) practice. Hybridity and play for collective and sustainable education growth.

Abstract
With the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic, academics across the spectrum have been forced to adapt their teaching. In this context, hybrid education has gained momentum, an approach that combines face-to-face and online learning, as classes had to be shifted continuously between the digital and the physical classroom. The Playful Hybrid Higher Education project, situated in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape at the University of Calgary, explores faculty and student experiences in the hybrid classroom to develop guidance for educators on the new education model. In this poster, I share my experiences as Graduate Assistant Researcher undertaking the literature review. Highlighted and discussed is the playfully approach taken, with initial results showcased. I argue that research projects like this not only help develop a deeper understanding about learning and teaching but also research methodologies. Play is an effective tool to foster curiosity and literacy!

Abegglen, S. & Schneider, S. (2023, March 01). Hybrid Literature: Playfully Researched and Openly Shared. Open Education Talks 2023.



Abstract
With the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic, academics across the spectrum have been forced to alter their teaching. In this context, hybrid education has gained momentum, an approach that combines face-to-face and online learning, as classes had to be shifted continuously between the digital and the physical classroom. The Playful Hybrid Higher Education project (funded by the Imagination Lab Foundation and situated at the University of Calgary) explores faculty and student experiences in the hybrid classroom to develop guidance for educators on the new education model. In this presentation, we share our experiences of doing the literature review differently, more playfully, and showcase initial results. We argue that research projects like this can help foster not only creative pedagogy but also creative academic (research) practice. As Carl Gustav Jung states: “The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect, but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.”
