The Course Leader role is a key role and one that many academics undertake at some stage during their time at ARU. Course leaders play a pivotal role at ARU and inspire trust and foster a sense of belonging and inclusion.
We have created the Canvas community site, Course Leader’s Companion. The content is divided into the following sections:
ARU hosts an annual Course Leaders' conference each September. This year’s Course Leaders Conference is set to take place in-person at the Cambridge campus on Friday 9 September 2022, from 10.30am until 3.30pm. The theme is Confident Course Leaders and the event aims to foster a course leaders’ network. Our conference will explore course leader confidence by drawing upon experiences from within ARU’s course leader community.
To book your place email alt@aru.ac.uk. Further information on the programme will be published in the coming months and will include a networking lunch, a world café and more.
Each Faculty convenes its own Course Leader Forums on a regular basis during the academic year. These provide an excellent opportunity to keep abreast of recent developments at ARU, and to share practice with other Course Leaders. Contact your Director of Learning Teaching & Assessment for more information on the dates/venues for Course Leader Forum meetings in your own Faculty.
