Abstract
How can we harness student experiences to enhance their achievement? What opportunities lie within our programmes to elevate learning, engagement, and graduate outcomes? How can we accumulate evidence for our initiatives to gain international recognition for our leadership in teaching and learning? Drawing on evidence from five Hong Kong universities, this workshop is designed specifically for current and aspiring programme directors.
Together, we’ll:
- Unpack the student journey – What truly shapes their learning, skills, and success?
- Spotlight what works – Through real scenarios, uncover high-impact practices from across institutions.
- Design for impact – Rethink programme elements—from curriculum to students’ wider university experience—to boost student attainment of educational aims.
- Build your leadership profile – Develop strategies to champion the changes you initiate and build cases for leadership in teaching and learning in higher education.
