GMIT LTA Strategy

The Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategy (LTA) and implementation plan was developed by the GMIT Teaching and Learning Office.

The plan was developed following widespread consultation with GMIT staff and students and aligns with the new GMIT strategic plan (2019-2023).

Furthermore, the LTA strategic objectives connect with the National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning Strategic Priorities in Ireland and the EUA Effect Principles for the enhancement of teaching and learning in higher education institutes in Europe.

The strategy and implementation plan is focused on creating a quality driven environment for student centred learning.

It aligns with GMIT’s strategic goals and includes more specific and detailed learning and teaching development objectives under six themes.

Student-centred learning, quality assurance (QA) and the development of the digital teaching and learning experience, are key elements of higher education in Europe today.

There is also strong consensus on the need to further enhance accessibility and inclusion, and to provide a broader and more diversified educational experience.

The following topics and recommended actions are presented in this GMIT LTA strategy and implementation plan:

  • Enhancing the profile of teaching and innovative pedagogies
  • Strengthening the link between education and research
  • Promoting the use of digital technologies for teaching and learning
  • Communicating the overall importance of higher education for individuals and society
