This page aims to answer the question, how can a member of staff at the University Campus Suffolk access staff development opportunities provided by the Elevate Team around the effective use of technology to enhance their teaching and their student’s learning.
The Elevate Team provide a range of face to face and online staff development opportunities. These range from providing an input into accredited courses, to the provision of workshops and one to one development. We also provide learning technologists for a limited time in divisions, schools and across the partner institutions.
Our principles
- Use a range of different styles, including collaborative and problem based learning
- Adopt an informal approach
- Focus on the participants needs
- Act as a showcase for the effective use of appropriate use of available technologies at UCS
- Contextualise how the workshop fits into our wider staff development programme
- Our role is to facilitate not to lecture
- Showcase uses from the University Campus Suffolk
Hub & Spoke Model
One of the main delivery tools of our staff development programme is the Hub & Spoke Model. This model places a learning technologies in each Division or School once a week (UCS Ipswich).

The Elevate Team will support individual’s who are looking at CMALT
(). CMALT is a peer-based professional accreditation scheme developed
by ALT to enable people whose work involves learning technology to:
- have their experience and capabilities certified by peers;
- demonstrate that they are taking a committed and serious approach to their professional development.
