Technology Enhanced Active Learning (TEAL)
Innovative teaching
The benefits of Technology Enhanced Active Learning (TEAL) are:
- Increased face-to-face learning and teaching - you will spend your timetabled contact hours on campus in a 2.5 day block and have access to a wide range of additional learning and career development opportunities.
- Access to recorded lectures, notes, readings and e-resources through the VLE, so that your engagement in learning takes place beyond timetabled hours.
- Access to industry standard technology and specialist spaces that help prepare you for your future career.
- Dedicated time, every Wednesday afternoon, for most students to engage in activities and development programmes such as sport and physical activity, volunteering and student-led clubs and societies.
- A holistic approach to learning and teaching, providing a range of opportunities to actively develop academically, personally and professionally.
- Access to our on campus and virtual Career Zones: places to receive advice and guidance, meet employers, practice interviews and engage with opportunities for internships and jobs.
- Personalised support throughout the learner journey, with access to academic advisers, skills tutors, career coaches and wellbeing advisers.
- A dedicated portal - "Track My Future (TMF)" - which provides access to all learning and support services and your own student engagement dashboard.
