This seed fund project will create a dynamic teaching resource to help academic departments embed recent, authentic, employer projects into their modules. The resource will feature a searchable, categorised database of full project briefs and contextual information, based on TeamWork’s growing archive of over 300 global employer projects. The resource will enable academic departments to identify, select and adapt projects that align with their teaching objectives. Supporting materials will guide departments in embedding projects into teaching, and in designing authentic assessments. The aim is to enhance curriculum relevance, facilitate authentic learning and assessment, and embed employability more deeply into teaching and learning.
