IATL approaches engagement as a relational practice to develop a connected and collaborative learning community.

We use WIE's definitionLink opens in a new window of engagement alongside the NCCPE definitionLink opens in a new window of engaged teaching to develop 'teaching activities which positively impact on the community and enhance students' engagement skills'. We aim to develop socially-engaged learners and student researchers who place participation and inclusion at the heart of their work. Our current strategy intersects with the University Education Strategy Link opens in a new windowin a number of ways, and our engagement work focuses on the Connection and Community strand in particular.

We will be providing examples here of case-studies from our module portfolio, student research programmes and funded projects by the end of 2024/25. These approaches and activities will inform a holistic pedagogy of engagement.

Next update is due in January 2025.
