Pedagogic research at Brookes

1. Contributes to the field, especially our understanding of: assessment standards, feedback, plagiarism, designing for blended learning, learners’ experiences of e-learning, internationalisation.

2. Informs our local practices e.g. the Assessment Compact, good practice in deterring plagiarism and teaching international students, linking teaching and the specification of literacies for a global and digital age.

3. Promotes a scholarly approach to teaching and professionalisation of our staff who teach and support learning.
