How to ditch technology and think inside the box - the Culture Shoe Box

Description

Abstract: With the fast development of technology, engaging students within higher education has shifted towards the use of more technology in the classroom (Selwyn 2009 and Dey et al, 2009). However, when it comes to teaching challenging topics such as ethics, business and culture, there is a belief that learners need to engage with these subjects in a different way (Wassif, 2015). This session will demonstrate the use of a Culture Shoe Box (CSB): a new, inexpensive, hands-on educational resource introduced to facilitate workshops and enhance students’ learning experience (Wassif and Zakher, 2015). The session will tackle some practical activities using the CultureShoeBox, the impact on students’ engagement and ways to develop this resource further to use as a teaching and learning tool in other subjects in the social sciences.
