Awards P1 - And the winner is.... an inquiry into industry awards and their role in higher education

Spill the tea - we want to hear from you!

This podcast supports a panel discussion I am moderating on June 15 at 2pm UAE time which explores the role industry awards play in a higher education programme.  This is part of Middlesex University's Annual Learning & Teaching Conference.

This panel discussion features faculty members from across Middlesex University's international campuses who will discuss their experiences and successes in entering students' work into industry awards. The aim is to initiate a discussion on the importance of industry-judged awards in higher education, aligning with Middlesex University's priorities under "Transforming Learning." The creative industries place a high value on awards, and major international competitions include free or heavily-subsidised youth categories to identify exceptional creativity and instill a passion for the industry. The proposed discussion aims to inspire study into this under-researched subject, share good practices and inspire colleagues to consider incorporating industry awards into their own pedagogy to help students achieve success.
