Scope and identification of Risks Introduction: In accordance with the requirements of the Higher Education and Research Act 2017, this plan inform students of what they can expect should a course, campus or institution close. This Student Protection Plan (hereafter “the Plan”) aims to demonstrate that Nottingham Trent University (NTU) has considered how students can continue or complete their studies or be compensated if this is not possible. The University recognises that in the event of a significant course or campus closure it will be expected to work closely with the Office for Students and its own student body to ensure that students’ interests are protected through any such change. Nottingham Trent University is a large, established, high performing and financially stable provider. We would like to reassure both our students and applicants that the risks outlined in this Plan are all very low and in the case of closure extremely low. Examples of risks to which this Plan would apply: • Loss or restriction of University status or its degree awarding powers or its designation for student support or student intake; • Decision to close the institution, a campus or a specialist facility; • Long term disruption to your course

The Diploma offered vocational education with occupational capacity, underpinned by functional skills and academic subject content. It was truly the first hybrid qualification that attempted to combine the hitherto separate vocational and academic curricula. This study examines the educational policies that led to the introduction of the Diploma and the reasons behind its ultimate failure and demise. The study comprises two parts. The first is an investigation into the continuing professional development needs that this new initiative created for teachers. This led to the publication in 2010 of a book, The Essential Guide to Teaching 14-19 Diplomas, a description and account of which is presented in this thesis. This book was the first of its kind aimed at supporting teachers working with the Diploma. The key research findings addressed were the need to understand the structure and constituent elements of the Diploma and to provide practical advice on how to deliver effective Initial Advice and Guidance (IAG), Personal Thinking and Learning Skills (PTLS) and Functional Skills. The second part of the study is concerned with the aftermath of the Diploma.

    Knowledge that counts: an examination of the theory practice gap between business and marketing academics and business practitioners examined in respect of their respective epistemic stances Item Type Thesis or dissertation Authors Ash, Malcolm Publisher University of Derby Download date 25/09/2021 15:36:19 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/10545/333867 UNIVERSITY OF DERBY KNOWLEDGE THAT COUNTS: AN EXAMINATION OF THE THEORY PRACTICE GAP BETWEEN BUSINESS AND MARKETING ACADEMICS AND BUISNESS PRACTITIONERS EXAMINED IN TERMS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE EPISTEMIC STANCES. Malcolm R Ash Programme Title Year Doctor of Education 2014 Acknowledgements My grateful and heartfelt thanks to my wife whose support has been so essential and without whose inspiration this would never have been finished. And to my supervisor David Longbottom whose wise and sound advice has been irreplaceable. Abstract Abstract This work examines and presents evidence for the existence of a gap in epistemological views between academic and practice marketers. Few if any academics would seem to challenge the ‘gap’ premise but the importance of any gap and its nature are issues about which little agreement exists. The intractable nature of the academic practitioner gap has a long history of interesting and diverse debate ranging from Dewey’s argument about the true nature of knowing to contributions based on epistemic adolescence, ontological differences and more pragmatic suggestions about different tribes. Others include the rigour versus relevance issue, failures in curriculum or pedagogy and a clash between modernist and postmodernist epistemologies. Polanyi’s description of tacit versus explicit knowledge further extends the debate as do issues of knowledge creation and dissemination in particular through Nonaka.

The City does not yet have a reputation as a leisure or business tourism destination and there is a significant opportunity for growth. To improve as a destination the city must promote a unique Derby identity and support developments that improve the visitor experience. The demise of the RDA’s and no apparent clarity on government funding for tourism has created a great deal of uncertainty around how the visitor economy will be managed going forward. However, with a new national government policy on tourism and a new marketing strategy from VisitEngland, together with the introduction of a new ‘Derby Plan’, the time is right to identify the best opportunity for Derby and tie it into the wider plans to take full benefit of opportunities as they emerge.
