Operational Plan
CADI's Strategic Aims
- Teach well, consistently well, every session, every time, for every student.
We will support and encourage academic colleagues and the wider university community to teach consistently well, in any mode of study, through innovative and authentic learning design, teaching and assessment practices.
- Become a national and international reference point in advancing innovation and effectiveness in teaching, learning and assessment.
We will foster a forward-thinking, needs-driven approach to professional development and maximising the impact of digital technologies in higher education.

8. New revenue streams, including consultancy and grant capture.
9. Sector credibility and visibility through research outputs and other significant scholarly activity.
10. Principles of a “UoP pedagogy”: be there, gather evidence, show impact.
