St George’s was recently named as the number one university in the UK for graduate prospects in the newly published 2023 Complete University Guide.
Our Goal is over the year to develop our capacity as educators to design and run quality education online, so that we end up with insights, designs, activities that are sustainable.
The design and implementation of online teaching and learning should:
P1: Foster and sustain a strong learning community that is inclusive and accessible to all
P2: Create a clear and scaffolded learning journey that is appropriate to the goals and purposes of the course
P3: Be clear about standards and expectations of both staff and students
P4: Balance synchronous social learning with independent self-paced study
P5: Where possible support experiential and practice-based learning through the design and use of virtual scenarios or multi-media resources.
P6: Have responsive evaluation built in.
