Ride 2023 research focus abstracts
Ride 2023 practice focus abstracts
Our virtual and in person conference, taking place across two days, focuses on research and scholarly practices in online, distance, blended, hybrid and hyflex higher education. We aim to provide opportunities to support our communities and our work.
Rapid and extensive innovation, development and expansion of the role of blended, online and distance learning has transformed higher education in the last few years. These changes have introduced opportunities for new ways of working for all involved, but have also placed pressures and stresses on students, staff, systems and technology. We will explore how people-focussed practices have and can be designed and developed through innovation that is sustainable for people, organisations and the planet.
