Enhancement Themes

The Enhancement Themes are annual focus from QAA Scotland Quality Enhancement Framework (QEF). By identifying and agreeing ‘Themes’, institutions, staff, and students work together to develop new ideas and models for innovation in learning and teaching. This also allows the sector to share and learn from current and innovative national and international practice. City of Glasgow College align with this theme in the current revision of the Academy and its focus in staff development.

The focus for 2019-20 was Technology Enhanced Learning, visit the Technology Enhanced (TEL) Resource Hub. Highlights from the Resource Hub are shared, follow QAA Scotland on Twitter or read the latest on #FocusOnTEL.

Resources

Two useful new video resources produced by Jill Mackay (University of Edinburgh) have been added to the Hub. The 'Accessibility and Lecture Recording' video considers how the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic might result in fresh thinking about how we use technology such as lecture recording to make teaching more accessible. 'Accessibility, Widening Participation, and Online Learning' highlights some common barriers to engagement with online learning and explains how these might be addressed.

The Widening Participation with lecture recording theme aims to develop best practice guidelines for how institutions can use lecture capture/recording to support the diverse pathways students take into, and their journey through, higher education.
