The Academic Practice Series provides a rich, accessible set of conversations with leading scholars in higher education, covering critical themes such as action research, relational pedagogies, digital education, academic integrity, immersive technologies, sustainability, and the impact of generative AI. Its benefits include: 1. Evidence‑informed professional development – Each episode connects educators with current research and expert thinking. Staff can deepen their understanding of pedagogical theory while seeing its relevance to real practice in Higher Education. 2. Practical insights for teaching enhancement – The discussions translate abstract concepts—like care in pedagogy, Living Educational Theory, or assessment redesign in the age of AI—into ideas educators can immediately apply in their classrooms. 3. Support for scholarly teaching and SoTL engagement – Many episodes highlight research methodologies and reflective practice. This helps staff build confidence in conducting their own Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) projects or integrating inquiry into their professional work.
