“…One reason for a renewed focus on teaching in higher education (HE) is the commodification of education and the increasing emphasis on the student as consumer (Devonshire & Brailsford, 2012). The argument is that by raising the quality and profile of teaching and learning in the sector there will be a positive impact on what students have to say about their programmes of study.…”

Written submissions are traditionally used in the assessment of applications for Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy, with dialogue offering an alternative approach. Quite why individuals elect for dialogue has received little attention. Using a mixed methods approach, data were gathered from two Universities offering dialogic and written routes in their Fellowship schemes. Most individuals elected for dialogue, although this decision varied between Fellowship categories. Reasons for the choice were highly individual. This study demonstrates that dialogic approaches are popular with staff. However, we argue the importance of choice in Fellowship assessment options and recommend this to other academic developers.

one's personal learning style in order to make sure the elearning course you choose will meet your expectations. My personal style with law is to absorb as much as I can until I can't take any more. How much depends on the topic. The three areas I found particularly tricky were Criminal law; all those definitions are so important and yet hard to commit to memory. Civil procedure is quite a labyrinth too and defamation sounds reasonably straight forward but is not that easy to grasp beyond the basic concepts. AND FINALLY… I took the Legal Foundations Course as a refresher and as a personal challenge to see if I could e-learn effectively. Unfortunately I fell into the same trap as the first time and went on holiday while the first lectures were released on the system. Will I ever learn?! Or should I say elearn?! Well one of the beauties of e-learning, is that unlike conventional lectures, the material was waiting for me upon my return. It took extra time to catch up but once I had, I tackled each new topic with gusto as soon as it became available. Personally I think I could get quite addicted to e-learning. For the most part it's just you the learner and the subject matter itself, which is the way I like it. No travel, no Tuesday evenings taken up for months, and I can organise my own tea and biscuits! So yes it's a bit of a revolution! Why don't you give it a whirl yourself… Bibliography
