What is your overall impression when it comes to the development of the quality and progression system at the Faculty of Medicine in Lund?
”In my opinion MedCUL is developing an innovative and pedagogically informed approach to ensure learning quality. What is particularly impressive is the world leading scale of the vision that should enable best practice to be shared across disciplines. Furthermore, the incorporation of programmatic assessment theory to support longitudinal learner development is to be commended at the highest level. I also feel it is important for me to highlight the innovations focused on student led personalised learning, which I feel are fantastic. In summary what MedCUL, under the leadership of Christina, have accomplished in 12 months [implementation fase, editors comment] is incredible and if embraced have the potential to positively transform the learning experience at Lund.”
What surprised you the most during your days here in Lund?
”One of the highlights for me has been the innovative use of student ambassadors (hope that is the right term). It is something I envy and wish I could emulate at my own institution. Breaking down the ‘us and them’ barriers between staff and students to enable true partnership working is an inspiration for me. I also am continually surprised by how MedCUL supports the staff and helps them deliver high quality education in what is, form my outsider perspective, a highly effective way. I would also say on the lighter side.. Lund is the only place I have ever given a lecture where the audience prefer to stand… this surprised me but makes all kinds health sense - well done Lund! I would also like to say that the rate of developmental progress has been stunning.. at Liverpool it took me two years on a single programme to get to where Lund is on multiple programmes in under 12 months.”
Is there any lessons you have learned and can share in your quality and progression work at the University of Liverpool or at other universities that relates to the situation in Lund?
”I have spent the last twelve years of my career trying to transform assessment into development… moving from focusing on the outcome and more onto the journey… this is essential because if you get the journey right the outcome is likely to be better. Some of the work done by MedCUL has made me fundamentally re-think some of the approaches I used to develop the student journey at Liverpool. One memorable example of this is the ability for students to design their own observational forms so that staff can provide feedback against their own personal learning needs… I think this is a stunningly good example of personalised learning and I can only wish I had thought of it!”
What part of the work here do you follow with the greatest curiosity?
”Using programatic theory to support and integrate learning outcomes across multiple programmes simultaneously… this a unique feature of the Lund approach, and opens all sorts of possibilities to enhance and streamline education. In theory has the potential to show the world what is possible with the right vision.”
