Professor Mark Brown:

We also need to be very strategic about how we address CPD. The old model where we would be preaching to the converted and the same old people would come along to sessions, will not get us to where we need to go. A much more strategic approach is to couple professional learning with the developments we are making at a programme level, so that as we are choosing key programmes we want to take, whether it be with Arizona State or something for a more blended delivery, we are working with the whole group of staff, not individuals. It is also important that there is a collective whole which is driven by the graduate profiles - what we say about the students we want to produce - and that we map back down there to each of the individual models, so that we have a comprehensive whole for them. Simply working with individual modules and teachers will not get us where we need to go.
