About The Learning & Teaching Development Unit

LTDU is a central unit based at Colchester Avenue Campus. To find out more about the team and who to contact, please   click on the staff information  link

LTDU works as a team to  develop, support and enhance student learning, with colleagues across UWIC, to promote the highest standards in learning and teaching.  This is achieved by raising awareness of current issues and progressing the scholarship of learning and teaching.

We promote and implement UWIC’s Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategy.

The Unit includes the Learning Development Team, the Quality Enhancement Centre, and has responsibility for

Continual Professional Development in learning and teaching.

The Learning Development Team's remit includes E-learning, media-based technologies, and an Observatory for piloting new technologies for learning and teaching.

The Quality Enhancement Centre works with student surveys, student experience projects and student retention.
We develop, manage and implement Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in learning and teaching, the Post graduate Certificate, Teaching in Higher Education and

the Postgraduate award - Introductory Studies, Teaching in Higher Education.

We are actively involved in a range of internally and externally funded projects to increase our involvement and understanding of learning and teaching in higher education.  To publicise these projects and other events and innovations we produce 'dialogue' our tri-annual publication.
