Today was the inaugural meeting the University of Lincoln Teaching Academy, an initiative put together by staff in CERD and Principle Teaching Fellows. After a brief history of the development of the Academy, group discussions around the its purpose and form reflected a diverse range of topics, and reinforced the need for a forum where staff can share ideas and practice. Digital Scholarship is becoming integral to teaching and learning and while the nature of scholarship in a digital age is continually open to debate, there is a synergy between the aims of the Teaching Academy and the need for a platform where virtual policies and practices can be discussed and taken forward. A link to the Teaching Academy is on the right of this post. Please add any comments below about how you feel the Teaching Academy and the Digital Scholarship groups can work together to support teaching and learning across the university.
