The Learning and Teaching Development team provides expert
pedagogic support for all staff in the development of exceptional
learning, teaching and assessment at York St John University. Our
work is informed by the Learning, Teaching and Assessment
Strategy 2012-15 and by working closely with all Faculties and
Departments to identify local needs.
Strategic Priorities for 2012-13
1. Continue to ensure the Learning,
Teaching and Assessment Strategy influences and enhances
pedagogic practices with a particular emphasis on supporting the
development and innovation in:
- assessment and feedback practices;
- international perspectives of teaching
and learning.
2. Embed “Recognising Academic Practice: The York St John
University CPD framework” as a core component of our academic
staff development. Our priority in 2012-13 is to:
- support staff to gain a qualification to
teach and recognition as Fellow of the Higher Education
Academy;
- support staff who wish to demonstrate their
leadership in teaching and learning by providing an opportunity for
them to gain recognition as a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education
Academy.
3. Embed the TEL Quality Framework as a means to ensure
consistency of the student experience as it relates to technology
enhanced learning and to innovate in the delivery of teaching and
learning. This will include:
- working with Faculties to benchmark the use
of technology as it supports student learning;
- develop innovative projects using lecture
capture, video and iPads that enhance the student learning
experience.
