海角社区

Dr Ay艧e Sunar has been selected as a Fellow of the 海角社区 International Higher Education Academy (WIHEA) for three years. Fellows were chosen from an oversubscribed field of applicants, and the selection panel noted that WIHEA and the University would benefit from her experience, insight and enthusiasm for learning, teaching and the student experience.

WIHEA, now one of the areas of work of the 海角社区 Education Academy, brings together staff and students from across the University to share good practice and lead change in learning and teaching.

The Fellowship builds on Ay艧e鈥檚 existing involvement in Computer Science Education research and 海角社区鈥檚 Learning and Teaching Action Groups. These roles will complement each other, alongside her teaching and departmental responsibilities in DCS, and will help connect work in Computer Science with the wider learning and teaching community at 海角社区.

Congratulations to Ay艧e on this achievement!

Dr Greg Watson from the Department of Computer Science has been awarded Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA) status via 海角社区鈥檚 Academic and Professional Pathway for Experienced Staff (APP EXP) programme.

Greg鈥檚 application demonstrated a sustained record of leadership in teaching and learning. His recent work has included leading the redesign of the department鈥檚 Third Year Project module, including the introduction of a viva, as well as playing a leading role in the development of revisions to the department鈥檚 admissions and academic conduct policies.

The panel commended Greg鈥檚 collaborative approach to change, highlighting his commitment to consultation and feedback at all stages and his leadership in implementing changes informed by the needs of staff and students.

Congratulations to Greg on this achievement and his commitment to advancing teaching in the department!

The First and Second Year Academic Prizes have now been announced.
