Supported by Liverpool University Press, The Academy has launched its new Open Access journal, Developing Academic Practice.
You can read our latest publications here: Developing Academic Practice Journal
Through this journal, colleagues have the opportunity to contribute articles in relation to hybrid active learning, practice and pedagogies. The journal will become a cornerstone of the University’s thriving culture of educational excellence and a vehicle to enhance the work of colleagues across the institution.
There is a forthcoming special issue for 2024 focusing on EDI (Equality, Diversity & Inclusion) following on from PedRes2023
Following the success of the recent Pedagogic Research Conference 2024, we are planning a call for expressions of interest with the theme of Technology in AI in Learning & Teaching. Details will be announced late Spring 2024.
In addition to the call for Expressions of Interest in becoming a member of the editorial team (see below), we will be recruiting guest editors to oversee the AI Special Issue, with the aim of publishing this edition to coincide with the Pedagogic Research Conference 2025. The vision for the AI special issue is to have a series of creative submission opportunities beyond the current features of the journal.
