Advance HE Teaching & Learning Conference 2018: Pedagogies without borders: Strategic adoption of teaching models across contexts disciplines and cultures

This session will consider how institutional teaching development can be achieved by learning from the global HE sector. It will discuss adaptation of a pedagogic model across contexts disciplines and cultures through the lens of the SCALE-UP project at Nottingham Trent University. SCALE-UP is an active learning approach pioneered by Robert Beichner at North Carolina State University. In 2013 NTU became the first UK university to pilot SCALE-UP in an institutional multi-disciplinary project; today 38% of our programmes use it. The session will summarise why we chose this pedagogy the benefits found and how we achieved widespread adoption.
