Summary of work undertaken across Manchester Metropolitan University to enhance the student experience by refreshing the undergraduate curriculum and using digital technology to 'wrap the university around the learner'
Professor Helen Marshall, Vice-Chancellor of University of Salford, delivered a keynote focused on delivering a better support of widening participation in Universities. Current agendas that seek to promote “widening participation” and the development of skilled as well as knowledgeable graduates mean that universities need to take a step back to re-examine and challenge traditional curriculum design and delivery models. This paper explores the current landscape and requirements such as modularisation, credits, learning outcomes and levels and how those support and/or constrain curriculum design and delivery that engages and develops students who come from backgrounds that are mixed in terms of previous educational experience, socio-economic class and cultural heritage. The central theme is to challenge perceptions that certain approaches to curriculum design and delivery are not possible because of these requirements.

In this session we welcomed first time visitors to the AUA conference. This was an ideal opportunity to network with other newcomers, see what’s in store for the two days, and find out how to get the most out of the conference.
Engage with the ongoing quality assessment debate at national level, building on an understanding of core principles in quality management and with due reference to the interests of those with a stake in HE quality
ePortfolio for work integrated learning - Jessica Tsai & Christine Slade (Uni...ePortfolios Australia
The University of Queensland (UQ) is investigating a sustainable ePortfolio technology that enables the monitoring, capturing and evaluating of Work Integrated Learning (WIL) across 25 disciplines. The presentation will outline the process that the project has undertaken to arrive at a recommendation for the most appropriate solution. The process has included an analysis of current teaching and learning practices and program and course-level needs to establish functional requirements, identification of potential off-the-shelf products, and proof-of-concept testing to establish the best-fit solution. This approach has enabled UQ to provide one platform that is integrated with the central learning management system which also meets the University’s teaching and learning needs with respect to WIL.
Discussion regarding the ability to accelerate students by reducing the amount of time, number of developmental credits, and number of courses in the developmental sequence so students can be successful in a college level course. Accelerated learning will require a curriculum redesign.

Reflecting on a 29 year career with Manchester Metropolitan University to present a case for becoming a Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy
This is Part 2 of the workshop pair
In these unprecedented times, the face of higher education is rapidly changing, and our learning centers must adapt to find ways to help our students (the privileged and underprivileged) engage effectively with technology. The realities of how we support students and the services we offer them must adapt to the current shifts to online learning in their content courses. We must expand upon existing online services and/or develop new ones. We must also support/train our staff members to manage the new ways in which our learning centers must operate.
Learning centers professionals are going to have to think of ways to deliver services 100% online. We need to think about our staff (students and professionals) and how we train them as well as the ways in which we engage our students who might be struggling with the demands of shifting to new modes of learning.
Part 1 - Identifying Immediate Needs
How we can triage and respond in real time to a rapidly evolving change to our operations?
Part 2 - Planning for the Long-term
How do we reflect, assess, resource for sustainability, and plan for future change?
Changing current practice to meet the needs of learners and societyJisc
A presentation from Connect More by Dale Clancy, independent learning specialist, Borders College.
Pre-COVID alterations to the way that the electrical apprenticeship has been delivered, in a remote wide reaching area, has brought around positives in student engagement, skills and achievement during the current crisis.
Teaching and learning has had to be adapted across the world, but in most cases assessment has not or has been less flexible. Is there a case now to alter the way learners are assessed now more than ever?
This session briefly highlights the tools used to engage learners, skills they have developed, and obstacles in assessment which could be adopted to suit modern learners and society in both theory and practical environments.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
