The LX.lab is a diverse, flexible and multi-skilled team, offering a comprehensive package of learning and teaching support, with a specialisation in blended learning and technologies for learning. As part of IML, the LX.lab works with the faculties to support and build capability across all UTS teaching staff to enhance the learner experience.
Come speak to our knowledgeable team about teaching in blended environments. We offer:
LX.lab can liaise with faculties and Subject Coordinators to guide them with developing Canvas sites, templates and interactive activities, or even co-design blended learning experiences as part of strategic programs.
What gets learners’ attention? Videos, audio clips, podcasts and interactivity.
LX.lab supports teaching staff to design, curate, produce and package their own educational media, from H5P activities through to video webinars.
Our training program shows how to use educational media to transition away from the traditional lecture model. Our LX.lab Media Space and equipment loan schemes are part of keeping pace with the modern classroom. It’s DIY with premium support.
We want to ensure all UTS students can participate in learning.
LX.lab provides technical support, resources and advice for staff around inclusive pedagogical practice and learning environments. We partner with SSU (Accessibility Service), ITD and CSJI to achieve this.
LX.lab represents the learning and teaching needs of staff and students in ecosystem development. We draw on quantitative and qualitative research methodologies to help drive changes within the Digital Learning Ecosystem.
Our learning technologies include: Canvas, H5P, Kaltura, Mentimeter, Microsoft 365, Portfolium, Turnitin and Zoom.
We advise and work with ITD on the evolution of existing learning technologies and their external providers to make sure learners are getting the best from a pedagogical perspective.
We test technologies and develop strategic plans with ITD for their rollout, including communicating the impact to the rest of UTS.
Whether you are new to Microsoft Teams or have a tricky Canvas setup, our services are here for all the learning and teaching community at UTS.
We run workshops and give practical support on learning technologies through 1:1 consultations, online support and live chat. We’re a friendly bunch too.
Our LX.lab physical space is a hub for the learning and teaching community. We develop a rolling program of events in the hub, and university-wide, to engage staff in learning and teaching.
Teaching remotely? We plan, create and maintain the following on our LX at UTS website:
The LX.lab work in both core teams and cross-functional ‘Squads’. Our Squads are nimble and work to solve problems quickly. They mix and match staff to draw on a broad range of skills to deliver relatively short-term strategic focused projects.
Our liaisons or ‘Chapter’ members build relationships with different faculties and teaching groups to support technology enhanced learning.
The LX.lab delivers services in partnership with a number of areas, including:
