Introduction
The PRF is an important university-wide community that supports
teaching and learning excellence.
Activities:
·
We
hold regular seminars at which colleagues share their practice and report on
pedagogic research. We also run two larger annual events: the Teaching Exchange
and the Sharing Practice Conference.
·
We
host regular reading groups and have a thriving network through which we
disseminate papers, calls for conferences, funding calls and disseminate good
practice. The network has a community site within Blackboard, which is open to
staff and postgraduate students.
·
We
publish an annual journal which is peer reviewed with an editorial board led by
Gavin Sim and Michael Thomas.
·
We
have produced two resources for staff: the Guide to Pedagogic Research, and an
Impact publication showcasing the work and impact of the PRF.
