SICSA Learning & Teaching Scholars Programme

Established by Director of Education, Dr Matthew Barr, in 2021, the L&T Scholars programme exists to provide development opportunities for learning and teaching staff across all of Scotland’s schools (or departments) of Computing Science.

The programme comprises a series of meet-ups, mentoring, and networking, designed to develop new scholarship ideas and explore innovative teaching practice. It is aimed primarily at early-to-mid career colleagues on ‘learning and teaching’ or ‘scholarship’ type contracts, for whom development opportunities are, perhaps, less readily available.

While the programme is very much focused on developing the individual participants’ scholarship and teaching practice, the intention is that it will have a positive impact on teaching practice across the discipline in Scotland. By collaborating on scholarship projects and sharing ideas about best practice in learning and teaching, our Scholars can help develop the learning culture and teaching practice in Computing Science schools across the country.

For information on our latest programme read our 2024-25 SICSA Education Learning & Teaching Scholars Programme blog post.

Applications for the 20024-25 programme closed on 11 October 2024.
