Jenny Lawrence; Lesley J. Morrell; Graham W. Scott – International Journal for Academic Development, 2024
The programme leader is crucial to the success of a higher education provider's educational portfolio.

Brown Wilson, Christine; Slade, Christine – International Journal for Academic Development, 2020
Scholarly discourses call for curriculum development to be democratic and collaborative, include multiple stakeholders' perspectives, and aligned to values that promote the professional, social, and public good.

Through reference to previous research on how…

This paper critically reflects on the challenges associated with academic standards in a postgraduate certificate in academic practice, which involved the wider academic community of the institution.

Gilbert, Amanda – International Journal for Academic Development, 2017
Sessional teachers in universities are often marginalised by their part-time status, availability for training, and invisibility within the institution's infrastructure.

We call this innovative approach…
