Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it
This resource provides a research-informed foundation for enhancing curriculum design, teaching and learning in higher education. Developed as part of the Maynooth University Leadership and Education (LEAF) Initiative, the literature review and accompanying executive summary explore how education frameworks can support inclusive, sustainable and values-led academic practice.
Educators, academic developers and curriculum/module leaders can use this resource to guide reflective curriculum (re)design, align teaching and assessment practices with institutional and societal priorities and explore strategic approaches to pedagogical leadership. The resource synthesises national and international perspectives to highlight how frameworks can promote curriculum coherence, empower student-centred learning and support professional competencies.
It can be integrated into CPD workshops, curriculum review activities, programme/module design consultations or policy development settings. It is also useful in academic leadership contexts to support discussions on embedding educational priorities (such as equality, sustainability, digital transformation, engaged research, etc…) into everyday practice.
As an open educational resource, it invites adaptation and reuse across disciplines and institutions.

This OER presents findings from a comparative study of novice programmers engaging in face-to-face and hybrid pair programming. It explores collaboration patterns, role switching, satisfaction, and challenges, offering evidence-based insights for educators seeking to prepare students for effective teamwork in modern hybrid software development.
Through a thought-and-action mapping strategy known as interactive management, the current research modelled a unique, collaborative "pathway of impact influences" to describe such considerations from the perspectives of TUS higher management and external stakeholders.
As part of this project small workshops in linear algebra where held both nationally and internationally. The main workshop website is https://sites.google.com/view/tusdcu-linearalgebraworkshop/home
A one day workshop to help bring together early stage researchers to learn and discuss topics in Linear algebra.
On Successful Completion of the event the students should be able to:
