The module is organised around three thematic areas (i) learning and teaching, (ii) assessment and feedback and (iii) research and scholarship, each of which reflect in the role and responsibilities of academic staff working in a HE context. The thematic areas will be explored in their own right, however, discussions throughout the programme in different fora will connect them together to enrich your knowledge and understanding, impacting through into your practice.

The delivery of this module is intended to be spread over three trimesters. Upon its completion you will have met the learning outcomes identified for each of the thematic areas:-
