For significant impact on student education
Winner: Academic Language Support Service
The Academic Language Support Service (ALSS) team designed a new teaching approach COLOSSUS (鈥楥Ollaborative Learning: Organising Student-led Small group Seminars) which enhances the learning experiences of students.
As a result of the shift in teaching and working due to COVID-19, ALSS designed the four stage teaching approach as way to enable studentcentred learning, with the aim of increasing student interaction.
Student feedback has been exceptionally positive, in the last survey (2021), 97% of students would recommend the programme to a friend.
Nominees
Paul Roach
Paul took charge of the Natural Sciences programme. Paul took it from the design stage with no programme specification to the first successful graduating cohort in 2021.
As well as being extremely successful, Paul is super collegiate and is always one of the first people to volunteer to help staff or students in need. He is truly one of the kindest and most thoughtful people I have ever met and I believe is truly worthy of recognition by way of a VC award.
