Can film and television contribute to positive student engagement?

• Teaching and learning has gone through a dramatic shift over the past 18 months as students disperse around the world
• Creating an environment of active student engagement can be enhanced with the use of film and television but the question remains; can it create or solve equity issues for domestic vs international students?
• Understanding how film and television shapes social views (gender bias, ethics, culture) and expose cultural differences can help students build critical thinking skills
• Explore the future of media in teaching and learning and the impact it can have on student outcomes
