CALLING UNDERGRADUATE COURSE LEADERS – Invitation to participate in a national research project

The role of the course leader

Elizabeth Staddon of the Teaching and Learning Exchange is currently engaged in a cross-institutional study focussing on the role of the course leader.

Recognising the significance of this role to institutions and their students, the research team will be exploring and making recommendations about how the course leader role is allocated and defined by universities, the range of activities course leaders do and should undertake, and associated professional development needs and support.

Call for participants

We are looking for participants who lead undergraduate degree programmes at UAL to take part in one or more of the following:

• Focus group interviews with other course leaders at UAL
• Periodic short online surveys to capture your role-related activities and any developmental needs as experienced, and/or

Update 25/9/18:
