Event details

The TILT Course Leader Conference was held on Tuesday 9 April 2019 in the Teaching and Learning Building at our Clifton site.

The theme for the conference was ‘Fairness in Assessment: Design and Practice’, and the day explored this theme and showcased innovation at NTU.

Professor Edward Peck, Vice-Chancellor, and Professor Eunice Simmons, Deputy Vice-Chancellor – Academic and Student Affairs, opened the conference with updates on matters relevant to course leaders, including strategic developments as we continue to feed into planning for NTU2025.

We were delighted to have a keynote presentation from Dr Naomi Winstone, Head of the Department of Higher Education at the University of Surrey. Naomi integrates innovative teaching methods and formative assessment into her lessons to improve learning amongst students, and has influenced practice across the sector through her research on student engagement with feedback. Naomi addressed ways to move feedback forwards in higher education and lead change that genuinely enhances the student academic experience.

This day of practice exchange aimed to inspire and empower course leaders to explore the role, share ideas, support peers and gain practical skills.
