DigiFest, ARU’s annual online event looking at technology and how it can be used to enhance learning, ran online each morning and afternoon from Monday 9 September until Friday 13 September 2024

It aimed to provide a positive start to the new academic year by looking at how digital technologies and media help us to create a rich learning environment and this year’s focus was Harnessing Multimodalities.  

DigiFest explored the possibilities for engaging your students digitally by using digital technologies and media. The week of sessions reflected a world in which the digital, in its many forms, is always within reach. 

The theme of each morning session was Pedagogic Possibilities and the afternoon sessions focused on Digital Practices.
