Supporting and Empowering Teaching Staff in a Digital Environment: New Hallmarks of Success Playbook
| Date: | July 11 - 2022 |
|---|
Academic staff, working in partnership with those in professional services are fundamental to the delivery of high quality digital learning, teaching and assessment. Our latest Hallmarks of Success Playbook aims to help those who manage or support teaching staff including those with a strategic remit for learning and teaching, academic managers, course leaders and academic developers. It may also be of interest to learning technologists and professional services staff involved in the wider support of teaching and learning.
This resource is the fourth and final in our series of Hallmarks of Success Playbook series, and covers four areas:
- Organisational culture
- Strategic vision, mission and objectives
- Learning, Teaching and Assessment practices
- Professional development in the context of recognition and reward.
The Hallmarks of Success playbooks provide our members with high-level guiding principles that underpin success in the delivery of hybrid and blended learning and teaching.
They can be used to stimulate discussion about success factors and how to achieve them, as well as potential roadblocks and how to overcome them. The playbooks can be contextualised to suit an individual higher education institution’s strategy, culture and approach to hybrid and blended delivery.
Each playbook is structured around:
- success statements
- conditions for achieving success
- potential roadblocks
- ·overcoming roadblocks.
The series is primarily aimed at those involved in curriculum design, delivery and approval, and will also interest those with a strategic remit for learning, teaching and assessment, quality professionals and wider academic and professional services staff.
Dr Ailsa Crum, QAA’s Director of Membership, Quality Enhancement and Standards said: ‘We know that successful digital learning and teaching is underpinned by a whole institution approach which supports and recognises the contribution of staff, working in partnership with students. Our final Hallmarks of Success Playbook continues the series’ tradition of offering practical advice in an easy and accessible format to support and empower academic staff across QAA member institutions.’
The Hallmarks of Success playbook - Supporting and Empowering Teaching Staff is available to QAA Members on the QAA Membership Resources Site.
QAA Members can also access the other playbooks on Student-Centred Learning and Teaching, Assessment in Digital and Blended Pedagogy and Course Design, Approval and Management there.

QAA has developed and published the Hallmarks of Success playbook series in our role as a membership organisation.
