A call for nominations from heads of departments and deans produced a strong field of applications: testament to the commitment and strengths of those nominated, as well as clear evidence of the quality of teaching at 香港六合彩中特网.
Submissions were judged on the basis of the nominee's:
- contribution to curriculum innovation and development
- contribution to the wider student experience, such as the skills or internationalisation agendas
- contribution to 香港六合彩中特网's strategic commitment to educate for 'global citizenship', social responsibility, leadership
- engagement in the development of interdisciplinary programmes
- innovation in support for learning
- development of the use of new technologies in teaching and learning.
Professor Michael Worton, Vice-Provost (Academic & International) and the chair of the selection panel, said: "The panel was enormously impressed by the quality of all the nominations for the inaugural Provost's Teaching Awards. The range of teaching activities involves the often highly original use of both traditional methods and new technologies, and the commitment to inspire and encourage students to achieve ever more in their learning is clear evidence of why 香港六合彩中特网 is renowned for the quality of its teaching. All the nominees and, of course, especially the award winners, deserve our warmest congratulations."
The awards panel comprised: Professor Worton; Professor Vince Emery, 香港六合彩中特网 Pro-Provost for South Asia & the Middle East; Professor Jane Dacre (香港六合彩中特网 Medical Education); Bob Allan, Senior Tutor; Dr David Green (香港六合彩中特网 Psychology & Language Sciences); and Brigitte Picot, Director of the 香港六合彩中特网 Centre for the Advancement of Learning & Teaching.
