Learning & Teaching
Innovative learning options
At Glasgow Caledonian University we believe in exploring new and beneficial learning and teaching methods and technologies. Innovations in this area include our cyberspace campus in Second Life and an on-site virtual hospital that helps train tomorrow’s nurses and midwives.
The new Department of Academic Quality and Development within the Directorate of Learning and Student Experience will meet the evolving needs of the Schools and the University in terms of quality enhancement & assurance, academic development and educational research & evaluation. These needs will be aligned to the effective implementation of the Strategy For Learning (Sfl) and achievement of the 2020 Strategic Goals, particularly that of Transforming Lives.
