During August
Peter Knight published two reports on the Open University's Knowledge
Network which bear on the current discussion about the value and
equivalence of the Post-Graduate Certificate. They also relate to
Prosser et
al's "Formative Evaluation of Accredited Programmes" published by the
HEA in May 2006.
They are
"Enhancing part-time teaching in higher education: a challenge for
institutional policy and practice" by Peter Knight, David Baume, Jo
Tait & Mantz Yorke
which can be found at
http://kn.open.ac.uk/public/document.cfm?documentid=8574
and
"The Effects of Post-graduate Certificates" by Peter Knight
which can be found at
http://kn.open.ac.uk/public/document.cfm?docid=8640
