Academic Development Discussion Group
Academic Development Discussion Group
The Academic Development discussion group will be of interest to staff who are involved in innovative pedagogy, and/or who undertake
research on academic development, learning and teaching, or the student experience. The discussions cover issues of practice, theory and policy.
Each session takes a short document (no more than seven pages) as its starting point. This will be circulated to participants about a week before the meeting.
Lunch will be provided. Staff who would like to attend should contact Anna Round in advance, so that copies of the article
can be circulated and catering arrangements made.
Forthcoming sessions are as follows:
Session 1
