Imagining - When We're Part of A University by

2025-01-29 08:10:54 UTC

"Research" and "Teaching and learning interventions development" focused permanent staff, part-time staff focused on teaching.

2025-01-29 08:10:54 UTC

Where we are able to provide a space for academics to be academics. Where there is a balance between teaching and learning and research. Where operational activities (student tracking, retention, etc) are not key to the academics role.

2025-01-29 08:11:35 UTC

SoMS is a space where students can grow intellectually and socially - learning how to contribute to both the economy and society.

2025-01-29 08:11:53 UTC

Improve our teaching and learning best practices, e.g., use of games.

Operational/administrative staff linked to school directly

2025-01-29 08:12:04 UTC

Possibly more diverse qualification offerings and specialised academic departments within the faculty.

Excellence in Teaching and Learning and Research

We need to promote sharing in Research, specifically publishing, even if we have to have seperate meetings monthly and bimonthly to share, train and support-I personally would gain from this-and my team. We also do this at a Campus level, however within our own School will be nice

2025-01-29 08:13:56 UTC

Being more academic in our role i.e. being able to make time to contribute to research output. Creating a more balanced approach to lecturing vs research.

2025-01-29 08:14:05 UTC

The faculty and school focus / collaboration / team / link are as strong as the campus focus / team.

The goal

maswart — 2025-01-29 08:15:26 UTC

Research initiatives across faculties working on global research matters. Faculty development as well as extensive community engagement.

2025-01-29 08:15:35 UTC

Clearer policies and standard operating procedures that are easily accessible to the academics, operations team and students.

An annual face 2 face meeting of heads where we can share best practice and plan collaborative activities for the next year.

2025-01-29 08:15:39 UTC

2025-01-29 08:15:54 UTC

Business school for the postgrads: Hon/master/phd and within this school we have a SoM's research division

2025-01-29 08:16:28 UTC

Implement more automated systems, such as automating the programm assessment schedule instead of relying on manual processes. Additionally, enable students to access and view personalized timetables directly through their portals.

Hoping the School teams can focus more on academic deliverables - will be interesting to see how the 45hr week we have now, will translate to deliverables, research output etc

2025-01-29 08:16:51 UTC

Having data analysis software for both students and lecturers e.g., SPSS, Nvivo, etc

2025-01-29 08:18:40 UTC

2025-01-29 08:21:30 UTC

Can our academics be like academics in public - do not need to be on campus when students are on leave. We can focus on our research and collaborations. At present we have no down time

Ensuring that we have more standardized marking across campuses, especially in the CI

2025-01-29 08:21:54 UTC

2025-01-29 08:22:39 UTC

Creating a better relationship with our part-time lecturers so they understand the 'vision'. They make up a big part of our Schools but are not really involved in the discussions about the future.

2025-01-29 08:23:24 UTC

can we explore international study tours for our students as part of their qualification

2025-01-29 08:24:05 UTC

Strenghthen the management of the alumni network

A focus on business. management, economic etc research rather than the current T&L focused research

2025-01-29 08:24:07 UTC

2025-01-29 08:24:41 UTC

Build strong partnerships with industry, government, and other educational institutions

Establish a Centre for Entrepreneurship where we go to schools and teach entrepreneurial skills

2025-01-29 08:24:50 UTC

2025-01-29 08:25:07 UTC

quarterly or annual colloquiums with industry or government key players. We can have a SoMs conference

2025-01-29 08:26:29 UTC

Community Development

Support Small Business

Experiential learning - where students reflect on what they have learnt and apply it to real world scenarios hence allowing us to work with industry.

2025-01-29 08:27:24 UTC

A bi-monthly research lunch where a couple of people get to explain what research they are working on or ideas that they have. This can encourage research as well as collaboration.

2025-01-29 08:29:51 UTC

2025-01-29 08:32:21 UTC

SoMs website page - research discussion think points/contributions/articles

themes throughout the year and our students and academics can contribute on various thought pieces

Research Output

2025-01-29 08:32:39 UTC

The research retreat works well, a whole week just to write up and submit research, we should look at something similar, so we can target specific research goals for the year
