LTA Strategy

The development of the Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Strategy first began in 2023 through a university‑wide, evidence-informed consultation process aligned with ATU’s strategic priorities, external review requirements, and national policy expectations. A comprehensive discovery phase included analysis of internal and external data, national and international policy reviews, and insights from global teaching and learning experts. Extensive engagement with over 350 staff, students, and partners, through workshops, focus groups, World Café sessions and surveys shaped the emerging themes.

The TLA Committee of Academic Council guided the process, providing strategic oversight and ensuring coherence. Additional validation came from the CINNTE Review Team, Advance HE leaders, ATU faculty leadership teams, functional managers, and a team of student champions. This iterative, wide‑ranging consultation ensured the LTA Strategy 2026-2030 is robust, aligned with institutional priorities, and well‑positioned for effective implementation.

LTA Strategy leadership team:Dr Carina Ginty, Dr Niamh Plunkett, Dr Deirdre McClay, Dr Michele Glacken and external education strategy advisor from 2023 to 2024 – Prof. Gilly Salmon. For further information contact TLC@ATU.ie

Please note: The LTA Strategy is currently in a review stage with the senior leadership team and it is expected that the review process will conclude in March and the formal approval and adoption of the strategy is planned for April 2026.
