Abstract

The Learning and Teaching Enhancement Centre at the University of Salford has harnessed the power of visual storytelling to transform academic practice. Our presentation explores the innovative integration of user experience principles and creative arts to enhance our learning and teaching environment. By adopting vibrant branding and evocative imagery, we’ve created a visually stimulating landscape that not only supports but also inspires our academic community. This approach aligns with our mission to “transform lives, stimulate discovery, and realise potential,” fostering an interactive and engaging platform for professional development. Join us on a journey through our creative process, where artistic elements, digital mastery, and narrative innovation converge to redefine learning and teaching practices. We will share how this strategy has made information accessible and captivating, empowering our colleagues to explore and engage deeply with their academic practice.
