Supporting
Educational Change (Professional Qualification Course)
Introduction
SEDA
is offering a three-month course that involves substantive independent learning.
Successful completion qualifies participants for Associate Fellowship of SEDA
(AFSEDA). The
course is recognised within SEDA’s Professional Development Framework (PDF) as
part of the Staff and Educational Development named award.
Who can take the
course?
Many more people are
undertaking staff and educational development, both full-time and (increasingly)
part-time, for example:
-
School / faculty /
department-based learning and teaching coordinators (with many different role
titles)
-
Staff from a range of
developmental projects and initiatives of various scales, both internally and
externally funded. Such projects and initiatives include HEFCE-funded
initiatives including CETLs, Higher Education Academy Subject Centres and
projects, learning and teaching strategies and widening participation and
curriculum development initiatives
-
Staff undertaking peer
review, mentoring, provision of learning resources and support, including e-learning; programme and
curriculum leadership and development
-
Quality enhancement staff
-
Staff leading and
delivering postgraduate certificates in learning and teaching in higher
education
-
Staff of central
educational development units.
The Course
This
course provides an opportunity for candidates to develop a portfolio which they
will present for assessment. Participants will be working through a virtual
learning environment in small groups under the guidance of experienced
educational developers acting as facilitators.
As
the course has been designed around the concept of a work based portfolio it
will be taken in a fixed three-month period. The course will start on 10th May 2010.
This
course is particularly appropriate for participants who have attended
Supporting Educational Change (Introductory Summer School) or taken Supporting
Educational Change (Introductory Online Course). It is also suitable for
colleagues who have been working in staff and educational development and who
may have built up experience which can be accepted as equivalent to either of
these courses.
The
SEDA-PDF approach is supportive enabling participants to define and meet their
own development needs within the framework of SEDA’s
Values and the named award’s outcomes.

The portfolio will focus upon a case study of your
day to day work in staff and educational development. In the portfolio
