A. Critically reflect on and evidence a response to the wider context in which higher education operates, focusing on the concept of transnational education, including the benefits and challenges for your own practice. B. Critically reflect on the requirements for quality assurance and enhancement and the implications for your practice in the context of transnational education. C. Critically reflect on your successful engagement in continuing professional development in relation to your effective and inclusive teaching, learning and assessment and how this has enhanced learning and teaching practices in a transnational context. D. Review relevant literature and models for transnational education, and its application to a range of change and improvement within your own teaching context.
• Teaching is through the delivery of a range of interactive workshops. • Participants will be expected to reflect upon their own practice and changes to their practice they have introduced as a result of their experience of the module and attendance at workshops. • Use of the wide variety of resources that are available via the institutional VLE Learning Mall Core, and the Higher Education Academy (www.heacademy.ac.uk). • Support from a mentor (normally a more senior colleague from the same discipline as the participant and/or a colleague with a Senior Fellowship of the HEA).
