2021-22 Academic and Digital Development
CPD Series
Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
These sessions are aligned the University’s forthcoming strategic priorities.
They will be led by staff with broad pedagogical expertise, as well as staff with experience of successfully applying learning designs and developing practice in their subject areas.
All sessions will take place on Zoom (unless otherwise mentioned). Where possible and appropriate, recordings will be made available here on the CPD page afterwards.
Sessions are open to all University of Glasgow staff, including GTAs.
If you have any questions, or suggestions for topics you'd like to see covered either this coming year or in the future, contact LEADS-CPD@glasgow.ac.uk.
Stay in touch
To receive periodic information about new learning and teaching events, funding, or opportunities for development, add your name to our list and we'll keep you updated. We promise not to spam you; we typically only have such announcements roughly every 1-3 months.
Eligibility
This series is open to staff of the University of Glasgow, and any keynote sessions delivered by external speakers are also open to staff of our validated institutions.
Graduate Teaching Assistants are welcome to register for the purpose of developing their own teaching practice, but please note that these sessions are not suitable for any students seeking training for their own PhD research projects. Contact your School for information on the research methods training available to you as a student.
