LITE Incubators

As part of our five year strategy to foster student education success for all, we’re developing six themed LITE Incubators to develop research in these strategic areas. The Incubators will encourage and develop collaborative research, providing a playground where professional services, technical, research and academic staff and students can work in partnership on long-term projects within each incubator to create real change in student education.

The six LITE Incubators will be:

• Assessment
• Feedback
• Active and experiential learning
• Inclusive education and belonging
• Digital and open education
• Sustainability and community engagement

We will be recruiting an Incubator Lead for each strand, on a 0.2 FTE contract. They will develop and curate multidisciplinary pedagogical research (PedRes), discipline-based education research (DBER) and scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) within their strand.

We’re also recruiting for LITE Strategic Leads, who will each have a remit which carries across the six incubators. They will work to make sure that their portfolios are embedded in the research activity of all the LITE Incubators. The three remits will be:

• Students as partners
• Student futures and educational gain
• Design thinking in SoTL
