Assessment, Learning & Teaching Reflections |
Thursday 8th December
Seventy-four Centres for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETLs) were set up in 2005 with the express purpose of promoting the sharing of good practice across HEIs nationally. The impact of our own the Institute for Enterprise CETL and the two CETLs in which we are partners, Assessment for Learning in Practice Settings (ALPS) and Active Learning in Computing (ALiC) is already starting to be felt across the university.
A number of other CETLs are also proving to provide valuable inputs at Leeds Met. We are working very closely with Inter-Disciplinary Ethics Across Subject Disciplines (IDEAS) CETL, led by Leeds University, and Jude Carroll of the Assessment Standards knowledge exchange (ASKe) CETL at Oxford Brookes University will be working with staff across the university on the deterrence and treatment of plagiarism in April, as outlined in the What follows? brochure, partly funded by her CETL. Links are being forged with the four University of Plymouth CETLs encompassing sustainable development, experiential learning in sciences, placements in Health and Social work contexts and Higher Education Learning Partnerships with Further Education Colleges. A full list of CETLs is available at http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/CETL.htm, and Leeds Met colleagues are encouraged to explore actively further productive linkages.
