It’s World Autism Acceptance Week! 🌈 ∞

This year's theme is "Colour" and we're celebrating the diverse and vibrant community of people with autism ❤️

Let's take the time to learn more about autism and how we can support others with autism: https://t.co/XYgT1d14Z2

These demonstrations stimulate the brain and motivate students to explore innovative avenues of education. Plus, they had a load of fun at the same time! There are so many opportunities to explore in the TEL Space using VR, Digital Art and 3D scanning and printing technology.

[Digital Education @ Activate Learning @DigEdServ]

In November in Banbury, we had the Sport Extended Diploma group in the LE TEL Space for a VR Session, studying Anatomy! By trying something new and utilising the TEL Space VR technology, the students were able to enhance their learning with effective visual demonstrations. (1/2)

We were so excited to be a part of
@FeBlc 's Autumn meeting on the 24th of November, talking about the importance of embedding and contextualising digital competencies into curriculum! It was a pleasure to be involved!

[Digital Education @ Activate Learning @DigEdServ]

Did you know that studies have found that reading for pleasure enhances empathy, understanding of
the self, and the ability to understand one's own and others' identities?

We still have some copies of The Upper Worlds by
@FemiFadugba left. Chat to your campus LEA for more info!

[Digital Education @ Activate Learning @DigEdServ]

Well done to all of our students at @Activate_Learn - you can always drop into the Learning Environments to work through your Century nuggets!

[Digital Education @ Activate Learning @DigEdServ]

We're looking for nominations by staff for students to receive a free copy of The Upper Worlds by @FemiFadugba in time for world book night!

Have a student you want to nominate? Let your campus Learning Environments Assistant know!

[Digital Education @ Activate Learning @DigEdServ]

There's still time to pop in and grab a book for the holidays! We are open on campuses until Friday, and whilst closed, we have 24/7 access to Fiction and Magazines via Borrowbox and Pressreader. You can find out how to use them by visiting the Learning Environments Website.

Another #sharethechange for #librariesweek

We are always innovating the ways we support our students. This week we have introduced NFC tags with QR codes so our students can access help in our Learning Environments when they need it.

The biggest change we have made is the £65,000 refit of Banbury and Bicester College's Learning Environment that our students get to use!

With access to Virtual Reality, 47 computers, thousands of books, journals and eBooks, it is the ideal place to study.
