In addition, the group is responsible for monitoring the research work funded by the Lecture Recording Programme as part of PTAS. The team is using a “research through design” approach, working with students both as learners and as researchers. She is committed to public engagement and embeds this in her research practice.
From our perspective as education researchers, this network certainly feels like an effective way of disseminating information on university projects and resources that can help schools develop their learning and teaching strategies. You can find Hazel on Twitter: @hazelmarzetti.
Research shows shown that peer observation is an extremely valuable process (Irby, 1983; Brown and Ward-Griffin, 1994; Siddiqui et al., It is also made explicit that the peer observation is only for staffdevelopment purposes and is not used for any review or assessment processes.

As part of the role, postgraduate peer tutors can work towards their Associate Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA), in a similar way to the Undergraduate Certificate in Veterinary Medical Education. All of the peer tutors are professionals, returning to study with a view to developing their careers.

Avita is a year 3 distance learning student ( MSc Clinical Education ) at Edinburgh Medical School. Imagine, for a moment, the demanding life of a dental academic like myself, or any academic for that matter: you’re expected to be a skilled clinician, a mentor, a teacher, a researcher, and a leader – all at once.
This work extends that view and suggests that online supervision of research projects can also be viewed in this way.
