- Title
CHANGES FACING HIGHER EDUCATION -- OPPORTUNITY OR CHALLENGE? EXPLORING ALTERNATIVE LEARNING AND TEACHING PRACTICES FOR UNDERGRADUATES.
- Authors
Benn, Andrea
- Abstract
This paper acknowledges that UK Higher Education Institutions are facing interesting but challenging times ahead. As with many other business enterprises, in the private and public sectors, each Vice Chancellor will be looking for improvement and efficiency savings while being seen to offer value for money and maintain quality of provision. This paper identifies the reasons why this is an opportunity to bring about change to undergraduate programmes, explores the pedagogical structures tried by others and demonstrates how new technologies can be integrated to bring about the desired effect of promoting independent enquiry and development of the associated personal skills. The initial research focused on developing one module within an existing programme, but the results will feed into a larger more significant development of a new BSc Hons programme designed entirely towards a more student-led approach.
