Progress (May) (from College Directors of T & L) • Establishing feasibility of delivery for programmes across all Schools: – Identifying content that can and cannot be delivered online – Evaluating potential to reorder some content delivery – Establishing Programme Learning Outcome and PRSB requirements and influences

• Evaluating lessons learned from Semester 2: – Identifying 'pinch-points' to pre-empt future problems – Assessing needs in terms of staff and student digital exclusion – Sharing best practice to contribute to Enhanced+ delivery

Progress (May) • Challenges – Laboratory practicals and fieldwork – Practical sports and exercise, esp. Outdoor activities – Facilitating/delivering UG PGT research, esp. with human participants – Healthcare training requiring physical interaction – Music – performance – Year Abroad – Balancing PSRB requirements

• Opportunities – Learning new ways to engage and support students through remote methods (enhancing accessibility, widening participation) – Developing new methods of working to minimise environmental impact (reduced travel, fewer disposable resources) – Becoming sector-leading in innovation in blended learning
