from small beginnings...

The HWB Learning Enhancement Team went out and about listening to colleagues across the Faculty about how we could shape the future of what we do. We decided to ditch the old-style approach to meetings and forums, creating a range of networks where we work together to shape and develop practice.

The Communities of Enhancement are characterised by collaborative sharing of skills, mutual dissensus to drive inquiry, are outward facing and prioritise the 'noticing' of ideas from elsewhere. They are vibrant, participant-driven communities where changes in practice are driven from the ground up.

what we've been doing...

1. Student Feedback and Analytics

2. Academic integrity

3. Students as Partners

4. Employability, Enterprise and Entrepreneurship

5. Equality and Inclusion

6. Internationalisation and Globalisation

Here are some examples of the Innovations in Teaching and Assessment CoE: from group ideas sharing sessions, to a joint simulation event with the Faculty simulation leads and technical team, and an interactive live streaming session where staff from across the university discussed their thoughts on how to make online learning engaging. Not to mention the world's first App BINGO game!

We are enjoying the journey we are travelling; we're working with lots of great people and we continue to listen and learn along the way. Here's a brief summary of our musings to date:
