Publications

Reflections (ISSN 2752-6895) journal focuses on teaching, learning and assessment in Queen’s and more generally in higher education. It is normally published once a semester by the Centre for Educational Development and is a vehicle for members of staff to discuss new approaches to teaching and supporting learning. Reflections also provides news and updates on learning and teaching events and initiatives within Queen’s.

The recent Winter 2024 issue includes articles on the Education and Skills strand of Strategy 2030, features the learning and teaching practices of a number of our academic colleagues, including some of the Queen's University Teaching Award winners in 2023, and provides details of the launch of the Assessment Support Hub and InQUBate initiatives.

If you would be interested in submitting an article, please contact Liz McDowell on e.mcdowell@qub.ac.uk

Contributions can take several forms:

  • Articles: generally one or two pages although longer pieces are acceptable, space permitting.  Articles can be on an aspect of teaching and learning or student support, in QUB or in the higher education sector more generally.
  • Shorter “newsflash” items, e.g. reporting on a recent event; flagging an up-coming event; advertising a new venture etc.  (100-200 words approx.)
  • Brief synopses of interesting articles on teaching and learning from the educational literature (100 - 200 words approx.)
  • Letters or responses to previous articles or to recent developments in H.E.
