This project took a major re-think of learning and teaching principles and demonstrated that it is feasible to drive institutional transformation in learning and teaching using pedagogy. This project is one of 6 e-Learning Transformation programme projects funded by the Scottish Funding Council.

The Transforming and Enhancing the Student Experience through Pedagogy (TESEP) project started in 2005 and has enabled three institutions (Napier University, Edinburgh’s Telford College and Lauder College) to explore how the transformation of learning, teaching and assessment practice in further and higher education can be driven by e-pedagogy. TESEP focused on 2 simple ideas:

• To make a real difference to the learner experience, we must try to engage learners in active and self-directed learning at an early stage in their studies, and to achieve that we need to encourage them to take responsibility for their learning
• Some e-learning approaches can play an important role in this, particularly where learners can be encouraged to use technology to locate their own material and enable collaborative work, formative assessment and discussion with peers

Transforming an institution’s learning teaching and assessment approach is a complex task. TESEP took a major rethink of learning and teaching principles and demonstrated that it is feasible to drive institutional transformation in learning and teaching using pedagogy.
