It will address a range of key themes such as assessment, feedback, responding to student needs, employability, flexible delivery, work-based learning and employer engagement, the student experience, elearning and so on. Emphasis will be placed on the reflective analysis of approaches to learning and teaching, designed to facilitate the process of enhancement, and to provide useful lessons for fellow practitioners.
