Online CPD opportunities in Teaching and Learning:

Queen Mary University of London also offers a Distance Learning Programme in Teaching and Learning. This suite of flexible academic development courses has been designed to support and develop staff with teaching responsibilities at any career stage. The programme will appeal to both UK and international participants.

Applications are now being taken for standalone modules as well as for two accredited courses – the Certificate in Learning and Teaching (CILT) and Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP). Completion of an accredited course will enable participants to gain recognition as an Associate or Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy.

The Higher Education Academy professional recognition is awarded to those who have met approved standards in teaching and learning, under the UK Professional Standards Framework. It is recognised as a distinguished mark of quality and is increasingly sought by employers across the UK education sector as a condition of recruitment and promotion. The recognition is also increasingly valued by international institutions as a valuable measure of success.

We currently offer 4 modules on our Distance Learning Programme:

Learning and Teaching in HE (ADP7001)

Developing the Curriculum in the Disciplines (ESD7011)

Assessing Students (ESD7015)

Teaching with Learning Technologies (ESD7018)
