The accreditation process: experiences of course leaders. SEDA-accredited programme: John Lea, Canterbury Christ Church University. HEA-accredited programme Jo Peat, Roehampton University
Curriculum Development: PGCerts in the disciplines. Creative and Performing Arts (Hilaire Graham, University of the Arts); Medical Education (Elizabeth Miles, St George’s Tooting); Engineering (Sue Moron-Garcia, University of Birmingham)
Where next?
Over the two-week period there will be 5 (web-based) assignments that provide an introduction to the topic with links to additional reading as well as individual activities and group discussions. You can complete the assignments whenever it is convenient for you. There will be synchronous activities at the beginning and end. Your total time commitment should be about one hour per day, though there is the potential to do more optional assignments should you desire.
