Transform Your Teaching: Build Student-Centred, Future-Ready Courses

Online Peer Learning Programme - Upgrade your Course - Make it Truly Student-centred (Profformance)

The Profformance Online Peer Learning Activity is a dynamic professional development opportunity for higher education educators who want to refresh and strengthen their courses through innovative, student-centred approaches.

Fully online, flexible, and free of charge, the course runs on Moodle between 1 April and 30 June 2026.

Structure and Learning Experience

The programme is designed to fit into busy academic schedules while still offering a rich and engaging learning journey:

• Minimum commitment: a few hours to complete core certification requirements
• Extended engagement: additional time for deeper peer interaction and course development work

Participants progress at their own pace within a clearly structured framework that supports both flexibility and achievement.

What You Will Experience

The course combines interactive and practice-based learning elements to ensure immediate relevance to teaching practice:
