The University is currently seeking approval to change name to University of the West of Scotland. We anticipate a decision on the name change later this year.
The Signposts & Guidelines are an evolving set of online resources to support academic staff in various aspects of teaching and learning practice. Under each topic theme there are selected links to a range of relevant resources available from CAPD and the wider Higher Education sector. The Signposts & Guidelines also include cross-references to one another and to the relevant University strategy or policy.
The aim of the Signposts & Guidelines series is to provide:
The current set of Signposts & Guidelines combines both those highly focussed upon a single specialist topic, e.g. Copyright or Plagiarism, and broader topics which includes a number of sub-topics, e.g. Curriculum Design (which includes for instance learning outcomes & SCQF, employability & curriculum design) and e-Learning. The latter are structured into a number of sections with brief summaries and links to further online resources.
CAPD also produces a series of Study Guidelines for students which are available from the Student Support Information site.
The current Signposts & Guidelines include:
The Centre for Academic and Professional Development welcomes comments on the Signposts & Guidelines and contributions to the existing documents or additions to the series.
