Welcome to the Jisc and Professional Associations Guide to Implementing the UKPSF in the Digital University
The initial development and accreditation, and to an increasing extent also the continuing professional development, of those who teach in UK higher education are undertaken with explicit reference to the UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF). The UKPSF is designed to remain in use for many years between revisions. It is also designed to work across the full range of higher education institutions and provision. It therefore properly avoids getting into the levels of detail that those designing and running particular post-graduate certificates in teaching and learning in higher education (PGCertHE) courses and CPD processes must address.
One major and fast-changing factor affecting higher education (along with the rest of the world) is the use of digital technologies. How are PGCertHEs adapting to digital technologies, in their design and operation and in the educational practices for which the PGCertHEs are preparing staff? This guide offers answers and links, including analysis of sources and case studies, from professional associations concerned with the development of teaching and learning in higher education.
We hope that colleagues designing and running PGCertHEs will add new ideas, case studies and links, so that a growing set of current ideas and resources will be available. Here are guidelines on submitting your case studies and resources.
The resource is still under development, and some intended sections are not yet complete. We thought it more important to get the major resources into use rather than waiting until it was complete before publishing.
