Overall, the AEC employs a holistic approach to supporting learning and teaching innovation, which includes all aspects of learning and teaching and a range of programmes and initiatives.

Why did you choose the project? The project was chosen to explore an effective approach to engage academic staff in learning and teaching innovation and improvement. This is particularly important in the context of Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) because XJTLU is a transnational university where staff come from all over the world and from highly diverse educational contexts. In addition, and related to having a large cohort of international staff, XJTLU is characterised by high turnover of staff. Finally, while around ten percent of students are international, the majority of XJTLU's student cohort is mainland Chinese, which means they have come from a particular educational background, while at XJTLU they are expected to adjust to a rather different approach to learning and teaching, which is much more self-directed and active. The aim of this project was then to explore ways of effectively aligning diverse learning and teaching styles of both staff and students in a transnational university.
