Teaching Day is an annual event for all members of the teaching community at UniDistance Suisse, across all faculties. It takes place on the Brig campus.The day offers a unique opportunity to talk to colleagues you may not often have the chance to meet and to discover remote teaching and assessment practices, as well as applications of AI in teaching and learning that may not yet be used in your faculty.
