CALL – for
comments on UK Quality Code for Higher education, Chapter B3: Learning and
teaching
Deadline for responses: 25 July 2012
Effective learning and teaching requires a partnership
between learner and teacher. The focus of this Chapter of the UK Quality
Code for Higher Education is on the design and delivery of learning and
teaching activities in all their forms, which enable students to become active
and independent learners, and the role of staff who teach or otherwise support
learning, whether on a higher education provider's campus or elsewhere. The
Chapter is concerned with the provision of learning opportunities for all
students irrespective of the level or discipline of study, the mode of study,
the location of study and the means of delivery.
The QAA hope that this consultation process will generate
lively debate and discussions about the key principles of engaging students in
their learning across the diverse contexts in which UK higher education
takes place. They are keen to receive diverse and varied feedback, which can be
used to produce a final publication that is of value and relevance to all
potential users.
They welcome contributions to this consultation from anyone
with an interest in learning and teaching in higher education in the UK
- including representatives from all four countries; prospective, current
and past students; and staff from the full range of higher education providers,
including both staff who teach and those who support learning and teaching.
