Developing Disciplinary Excellence in Learning, Teaching and Assessment

In summer 2019, the Teaching and Learning Unit (TLU), MTU Cork Campuses, under the leadership of Ms Marese Bermingham (Head of TLU, AnSEO – The Student Engagement Office, Arts Office), was asked by the President and Registrar of Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) to administer CIT’s allocation of the ‘Strategic Alignment of Teaching and Learning Enhancement Funding in Higher Education 2019’ (SATLE 2019).

The initiative was announced by the Higher Education Authority (HEA), in partnership with the National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, and had a total value of €5.57m, of which CIT was allocated €294,000.

Based on guidance from the National Forum to ensure the development of teaching and learning priorities at a local level, the TLU facilitated the use of funding across two core areas of work:

SATLE 2019 funding was also allocated to IT Tralee and, although administered separately, the TLU collaborated with colleagues in Kerry to align elements of funding activity in preparation for the establishment of Munster Technological University. In particular, the EAT-PD funding stream delivering the ‘Academic Leadership in Learning and Teaching’ programme, was a joint programme engaging colleagues from across all campuses.

Over 80 projects were funded across the sector as part of the National Forum’s SATLE 2019 initiative with project summaries and outputs shared on the National Forum’s ‘Teaching and Learning Initiatives’ page.
