Testimonials
As educators, our commitment to continual growth is paramount in fostering vibrant and engaging learning environments, with students firmly placed at the forefront of our teaching. Over time, shifts in political, economic, social, and technological landscapes continually reshape our understanding of student learning. The journey through the modules leading to the MA in Academic Practice presented an invaluable opportunity to refine existing skills while acquiring new ones, blending prior experiences and qualifications. Guided by respected educators such as Eimear Kelly, Catherine O’Donoghue, Dr Geraldine McDermott, and Dr Sarah O’Toole, under the mentorship of Dr Nuala Harding, and administratively supported by Ruth Benson, I was privileged to learn from a cohort dedicated to upholding the professional values of academic practice. Their mentorship not only imparted knowledge but also instilled a commitment to best practices, evident in their adept facilitation and encouragement of active participation. This pathway has been a truly enlightening and rewarding experience, and I am sincerely grateful for the invaluable knowledge and mentorship I have received throughout.
Learning, Teaching and Assessment for Student Engagement
The Learning, Teaching and Assessment for Student Engagement module was excellent. We had a number of lecturers who were experts in their discipline, and this ensured the content was current and focused. The assessment types were varied with great opportunity for feedback from the lecturers and the module Moodle page was packed full of resources and easy to navigate. Peer learning was a key element of the learning process and has greatly widened my professional network.
Embedding Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in the Curriculum
The course gave me strategies and techniques to embed ESD across a whole institution. Through a connected curriculum the opportunities to embed ESD across teaching and learning, research and communities has been a transformative experience.
The ESD course enabled me to see the opportunities for integrating sustainability into my professional practice and home life.
