questions set by the HEA are copied in below. If you wish to write
responses to the questions, feel free to send me your views.

HEA Questions
1. What are the key resources you use in your own teaching?- For subject knowledge/skills/pedagogy
- Include books, text books, journals, websites, databases, other
- Your institution’s own material
- Information
from sector-owned or based organisations such as Learned
Society/PSRB/subject association, Higher Education Academy, other
organisation
- Events and services (conferences, seminars, webinars) online courses, databases, networks
For
the foregoing, please identify, which are free and which paid for, and
be specific and detailed where possible, indicating titles of books,
journal articles etc. Why are these the key resources? You may want to
assess what each resource brings to the teaching of the subject? What
are the key strengths of the resource? Are there any limitations within
the resource? Can you think of possible improvements?
2. What are the learning and teaching challenges you face in your subject area/discipline?- Highlighting in particular those challenges that are particularly relevant to this discipline context.
- Why do you say that? Why do you see these as a challenge to the subject? You may want to assess how these could be overcome?
3. How do you think the teaching in your subject area is likely to evolve over the next few years?- As
above, highlighting the particular challenges expected in the
discipline or exploring how more generic challenges may differentially
impact within the discipline.
- Why do you say that? Why do see the teaching in the subject going in this direction?
- Is this positive or negative? Why do you say that? What is driving this change/evolution in teaching?
4a. What gaps can you identify in the current coverage of teaching and learning resources for your subject discipline? 4b. How might CHME or the HEA best address the identified gaps?5.
Thinking back to question 2, what gaps might emerge in the near future,
given the projected evolution of teaching and learning in your subject?- Why do you say that? How can these be overcome?
6.
Can you think of any other ways in which CHME or the HEA could support
and advance learning and teaching in your subject-based practice?
