The Value of Innovation in Teaching and Learning
Oliver Burnham
Universities UK
Today, more than ever, innovations in university teaching are supporting universities to prepare students for their future careers, equipping them with the skills and experience they will need to succeed. The past decade especially has seen education providers expanding the use of digital enhancements to teaching. As well as the fully online courses delivered by some universities, there has been a growth of blended learning (a mix of in-person and online content within a course), hybrid learning (providing both online and in-person provision for individual lectures or other course content), and increased use of digital tools and resources within the physical lecture theatre, seminar room, or laboratory. This report investigates how universities can rethink curriculum design and the ways teaching and assessment are provided by allowing students to learn old skills in new ways and providing them with the opportunity to practice new skills that are increasingly relevant in the modern workplace. These changes could benefit graduate skills and employability.
