Opening keynote
Dr Nick Munn '(Re?)Kindling Students' Desire to Learn'
The pandemic has been draining for all of us. Whether in roles as teachers or learners, our time, effort and attention has been stretched thin by the state of the world, and by considerations other than our academic success. This has resulted in overworked teachers, disengaged learners, and, where these two problems overlap, unsatisfactory outcomes for all concerned. As the world collectively decides to ignore the ongoing nature of the pandemic, our task is now to renew, or in some cases to build for the first time, a passion and desire for learning in our students. But many of these students have no experience of the way things were, pre-pandemic. So we cannot sell them on a 'return to normality', we must instead convince them of the value of how we teach - whatever that looks like now. What, then, should it look like?

Te Tohu Paetahi a Māori language revitalisation strategy
Assoc. Prof. Sophie Nock:
This presentation is a look at the contribution that Te Pua Wānanga ki te Ao / The Faculty of Māori & Indigenous Studies here at the University of Waikato makes towards the revitalisation agenda of te reo Māori (the Māori language). In particular the unique programme offered by Te Pua Wānanga ki te Ao for over thirty years, namely Te Tohu Paetahi (The First Degree). In 1991, this programme was first offered and the University of Waikato has been the only mainstream university to offer such a programme. What makes this programme still popular since its inception, I would argue, is the curriculum and how it is delivered, it is the conducive whānau (family) learning environment, it is the teaching expertise provided and it is the support that the programme receives. This presentation will also briefly talk about some of the developments over the last three years, such as the Diploma in Te Tohu Paetahi, the new curriculum and the Te Tohu Paetahi scholarship for staff.

Dr Nigel Francis: Perfecting* Practical Pandemic Pedagogy (*Possibly)
#DryLabsRealScience is a community of practice established to support life science educators with the provision of laboratory-based classes in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and restricted access to facilities. Four key approaches have emerged from the innovative work shared with the network: videos, simulations, virtual/augmented reality, and datasets, with each having strengths and weaknesses. Each strategy was used pre-COVID and has a sound theoretical underpinning; here, I explore how the pandemic has forced their adaptation and highlight novel utilisation to support student learning in the laboratory environment during the challenges faced by remote and blended teaching.
