Learning Outcomes

In the opening Unit of this Care-full scholarship MOOC we set out the following Intended Action and Learning Outcomes. Please take a moment to review them again now. To what extent do you feel we have managed to meet them based on your own personal experience of undertaking this MOOC? Please share your reflections in the Discussion tab. If you have any suggestions or specific recommendations that you would like to make alongside, as always please feel very welcome to do so. Wherever possible we will endeavour to take them into account in future iterations of this course.

Intended Action and Learning Outcomes:

• To critically and dialogically reflect together on how a democratic and feminist understanding of care can contribute to the advancement of care-full scholarly practice
• To increase understanding of the meanings and relevance of a care-full approach in bringing about just transformative change in a manner which simultaneously appreciates the complexity of ‘care multiple’
• To critically identify and devise opportunities for academic scholars – individually and collectively - to pursue and embed care-full practices within and beyond the academy in a manner which enables more democratic and just institutional processes and ways of working  
• To promote greater reflexivity, and motivation for action, stimulated by a range of examples for how care-full scholarship can be practiced across a number of academic realms (research, teaching, doctoral supervision, consortium building)
• To increase understanding of the nature of caring needs within academia, paying particular attention to both collegial and self-care
• To stimulate change at a range of intra-, inter- and institutional levels.
