There are some significant changes happening to our CLE over the next two years. The University has announced it has chosen Canvas as our new CLE.
Sooner than this, we are required to update Blackboard to Ultra Based Navigation which will be implemented until the CLE change.
The regular Teaching Academy Update features initiatives and resources to support us delivering our Teaching and Learning activities.
Here you will find details of past and upcoming Teaching Academy events. Details of other FSE Faculty open meetings are available on the Faculty website.

An example of good practice that Teaching Academy is championing is the use of Mid-Semester Surveys across your course units. This simple check-in with students can reveal aspects of their learning students are enjoying and, most importantly, highlight any issues that could be a very simple fix, asking these questions in the middle of the survey gives you an opportunity to act on that feedback and improve the student experience.
Tom Rodgers has used a number of approaches to managing peer assessment and group work. In this case study, Tom tells us about his experience with Buddycheck and the benefits of the using Buddycheck.
A standard practice across the University is to ask students for their feedback on a course unit at the end of the semester. This can be a frustrating arrangement for both Staff and Students as by the time feedback is available there is no opportunity to make any adjustments that may benefit the cohort providing the feedback.
In September 2023 there was a showcase and discussion of ‘Creating a sense of community and inclusion through T&L’, which brought together speakers from across the Faculty. The talks from the showcase event are uploaded here.
