Quality of teaching and learning is increasingly considered an important dimension of institutional effectiveness. While general ideas on ‘student-centredness’ and ‘active learning’ have become widespread and the recognition of the need for academic leadership in teaching and learning at universities is growing, there is much to be done to help institutions implement meaningful strategies to improve the quality of teaching and learning and to improve the support offered to academic teachers so that they can excel at teaching and continue to develop throughout their career. But how does one affect change in the area of teaching and learning across a university? This workshop is meant for senior university administrators and faculty developers or other academics interested in the strategic development of teaching and learning at universities. We will discuss a whole range of available policy approaches and institutional structures and we will consider in-depth case studies of approaches taken by institutions coming from very different European contexts.

Speakers: Joanna Renc-Roe (CEU), Torgny Roxa (Lund University, Sweden)
