    Teaching and Learning Conference 2021: Teaching in the spotlight: What is the future for HE curricula? On-demand session abstracts 6-8 July 2021 5Ps: An incremental innovation Dericka Frost and Janet Turley, University of the Sunshine Coast Whilst the move to technology-enabled learning and teaching [TELT] during 2020 transformed higher education course delivery, it exacerbated the digital divide. Students with low confidence, limited internet access, bandwidth and inadequate hardware became even less visible. 5Ps is an innovative student-focused study strategy developed in response to this transition in one pathways program course at an Australian regional university. 5Ps provides inexperienced students with a formula and an explicit step-by-step guide, potentially strengthening their academic self-efficacy and independence regardless of technological inequities. A 40,000 strong force for sustainable development: Affecting change whilst enhancing employability through applied research and the Sustainable Development Goals Dr Jennifer O'Brien, University of Manchester Students at the University of Manchester represent a 40,000-strong force for potential change who want to make a difference. This presentation will critically discuss how we are harnessing the power of our students to affect change through their assessment to the benefit of sustainable development and their employability. We are deploying Education for Sustainable Development in a Living Lab approach framed around the Sustainable Development Goals. The University Living Lab equips and empowers our students with the skills and confidence to affect real change for sustainable development through interdisciplinary applied research projects required by external partners. A brave new world: Has the global pandemic broken the boundaries of tradition and reformed assessment in STEM? Dr Laura Roberts and Dr Joanne Berry, Swansea University For centuries STEM disciplines have relied on traditional, on-site exams to drive learning and knowledge.

  • Arden University Access and Participation Plan 2020-21
    Arden University Access and Participation Plan 2020-21 All data sources in this section are from the OfS Access and Participation dataset. Arden University provides higher education by part-time online distance learning and full-time blended learning through its Study Centres. Its mission is to remove the barriers to higher education, inspire new ways to learn and enrich people and their lives. Arden’s vision is to be known as the University that made higher education more accessible and beneficial to all. Arden University’s belief is that everyone, everywhere has a right to higher education. Its insight is that many people, at different stages of life, are constrained in their ability to study and to progress – constrained by expectation, geography, financial circumstances, other commitments or even just by time. Whilst Arden University does not limit its access and participation strategies to students from BAME backgrounds, students from low higher education participation, low household income and/or low socioeconomic status, mature students or disabled students, data shows that 92.7% of Arden’s UK undergraduate students have at least one of these characteristics, and 80% of our full time students are BAME. Therefore, Arden is a significant and growing provider of access to higher education for the government’s targeted low participation groups. Arden University is making headway in improving access to HE. The focus and priority for our change will be on significantly improving the continuation and success of our students, by supporting them with the many challenges that our distinct community of students face. Since 2016, Arden University has been offering a Full-Time (FT) Blended Learning experience in its study centres located in London (Ealing, Tower Hill, Holborn) and Birmingham and Manchester, whilst it previously offered Distance, Part-Time (PT) provision only.
