Category: Flex 30

Part of the University Teaching Academy’s pathway to a Masters in Higher Education at Manchester Met, FLEX 30 is a 30-credit module which asks participants to create a 3,000 portfolio based around practical activities and reflective learning.

The paper below was submitted in December 2021 and is awaiting a grade (due Feb 2022)

In support of my first FLEX 30 activity, I observe and participate in a student seminar, using the opportunity to consider the dynamic between myself and my academic colleague – and looking at how I can learn from this as part of my own teaching journey.

In support of my second FLEX 30 activity, I deliver a workshop presentation designed to give students an overview of basic marketing principles – and reflect on how I create and deliver this content in a classroom environment.

In support of my FLEX 30 reading and learning, I reflect on Parkin’s Developing Sustainable Resilience in Higher Education (2020) – and how it reframes my own recent experiences as a marketing professional in higher education.
