The student learning experience can benefit greatly from teaching in which research plays a part. Traditionally this might be through research-led teaching, where research interests shape the curriculum, but teaching may also be research-oriented (seeking to instill a research ethos), research-based (curricula designed around inquiry based activities) or research-informed (consciously drawing on systematic inquiry into the teaching and learning process itself.)

In the past few months we have been examining Research-Teaching linkages at GCU as part of our institutional commitment to the current QAA enhancement theme on Research-Teaching Linkages (RTL) to enhance graduate attributes.

As part of our contribution to the theme, we have prepared a short 'snapshot' report of activity at GCU. This can be downloaded from the link below. For a short list of resources on Research-Teaching Linkages, you may wish to have a look at this del.icio.us page: http://del.icio.us/cdmilligan/rtl
