There were two awards in this category – one individual and one team. This award recognised staff and teams who have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to supporting students to learn and preparing them for their futures.
Those shortlisted in this category were:
- Scott White - LES
- Marjorie Collaco - HEFi (MDS)
- HEFi CAL Digital Team
- LLM Energy and Environmental Law Team - CAL
The first award winner has championed the use of new, innovative technology including 3D printing, image-creation and photogrammetry to engage students in a range of topics using 3D modelling, showing an innovative and collaborative approach to using his skills and knowledge to ensure as wide a cohort of students as possible can benefit from these methods. The winner was Dr Scott White.
Our second winner was a team who run a highly innovative online LLM Programme. Rooted in the research expertise of colleagues in Birmingham Law School delivering the programme, it enables students to experience world leading research led teaching. The LLM contains new modules designed to reflect the cutting-edge modes of delivery- digital access with a global reach. The winners were The LLM Energy and Environmental Law team.
The review panel wanted to also give special mention to the other colleagues nominated in this category: Marjorie Collaco (MDS) and the HEFi Digital Team (CAL). The work that these colleagues are doing showcases not only the facilities and equipment available to students but also the use of innovative digital tools in their education. Their collaborative work is bringing new dimensions to College portfolios and supporting student learning across the University.
