Being fairly new to the Teaching Centre I had heard a lot about the Teaching Innovation Awards and had a rough idea of the kinds of things taking place, but this event really opened my eyes as to how much these awards can mean to the University, with good practise in these projects being shared. There were a number of the initiatives from the awards that I felt could be replicated in other programmes and even across the University.<\/p>\n

In addition I noticed a theme running throughout the projects that is close to my heart- student engagement. Many of the projects had either an end goal of increased student engagement or this had been a product of the project without being the main aim to begin with.<\/p>\n

I personally really enjoyed the dissemination event, the turn-out was\u00a0great and I look forward to learning more about this year\u2019s award winners and the 2014 applications.<\/p>\n

A big thanks to Dr Katryna Kalawsky and Dr Diane Beale for organising the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
