Institute of Teaching and Learning

The Teaching Excellence team coordinates and supports a wide range of projects designed to enhance excellence in teaching, learning and student support across the University. These include:

• Strategic projects:
  • Providing project support for large university-wide strategic projects focused on teaching and learning enhancement such as Assessment for the Future (AFF), Cadmus implementation, and supporting projects linked to the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF).
  • Supporting Strategic ITL Fellows completing long-term university-wide initiatives on areas such as on evaluation and impact.
  • Contributing to and providing support for Task and Finish Groups on priority areas for example, Contract Cheating.
• Pedagogic research projects: supporting colleagues undertaking short-term pedagogic research projects as ITL Fellows, designed to support colleagues put pedagogic research into to practice to enhance teaching and learning.

The Teaching Excellence team also coordinates the University's Innovation and Scholarship Fund which supports colleagues working on smaller teaching and learning enhancement projects and provides financial backing for ideas that can enhance our educational practices.
