Research Fund Outcomes 2020
In spite of all the uncertainty around the COVID-19 shutdown, we were delighted at the number of applications we received for the Teaching, Learning and Higher Education Research Fund. The fund was administered collaboratively between CHER, SALTI, and CEED. Ten high-quality applications were submitted from across the University, and the following six projects were selected for funding this year.
| Principal Investigator | Title |
|---|---|
| Dr Dharini Balasubramaniam, School of Computer Science | Online Tool Support for Learning, Teaching and Assessment in Computer Science |
| Dr Ken Mavor, School of Psychology & Neuroscience | Taking on the attainment gap: identity-incompatibility of non-traditional university students and learning-undermining behaviours (procrastination and self-handicapping). |
| Jennifer Taylorson, International Education Institute | A Guide for Good Practice in Online Teaching and Learning: Developing a Foundation for Transformative CPD |
| Dr Majied Robinson, School of History | End-user research and proof of concept investigation for ‘The Visual Historian’ |
| Dr Gayle Doherty, School of Psychology & Neuroscience | The Added Value of Engagement: towards a fuller understanding of the benefits of engaged projects for undergraduate students |
| Dr Anita Laidlaw, School of Medicine | Education Focused Academic Careers in Research Intensive Universities |
On completion of the projects, teams will publish a blog post to describe what was achieved, and we will link those here.
