CATEGORY AWARDS

ACCESS, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

As Reimagine Education has grown, we have received an increasing number of outstanding applications from innovators who, driven by a keen sense of social responsibility, are seeking to improve access to higher education for under-served, underprivileged students. Acknowledging the need for education’s scope to expand yet still further, we are now offering our inaugural Access, Diversity & Inclusion award, which will be given to a pedagogy or new educational model that is designed to bring quality education to new cohorts.

These innovative solutions should positively enhance and transform various aspects of education, fostering creativity, personalization, and engagement among learners.

BLENDED & PRESENCE LEARNING

Reimagine Education is keen to emphasise that reimagining education involves more than devising ingenious technological solutions to problems. Presence learning is also in need of reimagining, reliant as it is on centuries-old teaching methods. How can you and your team reimagine presence-based pedagogies, and improve learning outcomes in traditional learning environments?
