  • 2016-17 Department: UCL Medical School Faculty: Medical Sciences CONNECTED CURRICULUM
    UCL QUALITY REVIEW FRAMEWORK - ANNEX 6.1.3: ASER DEVELOPMENT & ENHANCEMENT PLAN Academic Session: 2016-17 Department: UCL Medical School Faculty: Medical Sciences CONNECTED CURRICULUM Last session, Departments were invited to discuss how they intended to begin their preliminary assessment of their taught provision by benchmarking each programme against the grid in the Connected Curriculum Enhancement Guide. Programmes were asked to evaluate and clearly state where the programme or cluster of similar programmes was benchmarked in relation to each dimension of the Connected Curriculum. In this section, Departments are asked to indicate the extent to which their programme(s) reflect each of the six dimensions, to highlight notable examples of good practice, and (in the Development and Enhancement plan below) to list up to six actions that the department/programme team will now take to enhance the programme(s) over the next two to three years. Departments will then be asked to review progress in relation to these actions in the Autumn 2019 ASER. The broad evaluation of the programme(s) as ‘Beginning’, ‘Developing’, ‘Developed’ or ‘Outstanding’ for each dimension will enable the Department/Programme Leader to track progress in relation to all six dimensions over time. It is intended to be a broadly agreed description of current practice in the programme(s) as a whole. General guidance on interpreting these terms is found on p6-7 of the Connected Curriculum online guide: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/teaching-learning/sites/teaching-learning/files/connected_curriculum_brochure_21_june_2017.pdf Departments may also find the ‘Twenty Questions’ on p10 helpful. If you have a large number of UG programmes in your department, a suggested approach is to use this form to provide a departmental summary of your programmes and then to identify those particular programmes which are excelling or which need more development by completing a form with a summary for each programme (or cluster of very similar programmes).

  • Teaching and Learning in Higher Education Ed
    Teaching and Learning in Higher Education Teaching ‘… an admirable testament to UCL’s ambition to foster innovative, evidence-based and thoughtful approaches to teaching and learning. There is much to learn from here.’— Professor Karen O’Brien, Head of the Humanities Division, University of Oxford ‘Research and teaching’ is a typical response to the question, ‘What are universities for?’ For most people, one comes to mind more quickly than the other. Most undergraduate students will think of teaching, while PhD students will think of research. University staff will have similarly varied reactions depending on their roles. Emphasis on one or the other has also changed over time according to governmental incentives and pressure. Davies and Norbert Pachler ed. Jason P. For some decades, higher education has been bringing the two closer together, to the point of them overlapping, by treating students as partners and nding ways of having them learn through undertaking research. Drawing on a range of examples from across the disciplines, this collection demonstrates how one research-rich university, University College London (UCL), has set up initiatives to raise the pro le of teaching and give it parity with research. It explains what staff and students have done to create an environment in which students can learn by discovery, through research- based education. ‘… an exemplary text of its kind, offering much to dwell on to all interested in advancing university education.’— Ronald Barnett, Emeritus Professor of Higher Education, University College London Institute of Education Dr Jason P. Davies is a Senior Teaching Fellow at the UCL Arena Centre.
