Congratulations to Tim Lever and the 'CUSP' Team
Posted Mon 09 May, 2011
Systems that Achieve Collective Excellence in Teaching and Learning Award
In the category of Systems that Achieve Collective Excellence in Teaching and Learning, the winners were Tim Lever and the 'CUSP' team from the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technologies and Kellie Morrison, Jessica Morr and Gareth Tarr of the 'PASS' project in the Business School. The Course and Unit of Study Portal (CUSP) was originally intended as a simple unit of study database, but from this it has developed to provide support for a wide range of activities, most importantly providing students with a framework which enables them to more easily plan and identify their degree structures and progression pathways. Like the Chemistry Bridging Course, PASS, which stands for Peer Assisted Study Sessions, provides a peer learning environment to enhance students' academic achievement alongside fostering a sense of belonging to a community. Colleagues note "a vastly improved average performance, measured by grade and better grade distribution as a result of PASS involvement," while a student declared "PASS definitely supported my learning through active engagement." Both programs thus contribute to students experiencing a successful first year at university.
The CUSP team has received $10,000, which will be used to further develop and enhance the system.
