Virtual practice leads list of HEA award winners

A professor who has helped develop technology allowing law students to act on behalf of "virtual" clients is among this year's batch of Higher Education Academy senior fellows.

Students of Paul Maharg, professor in law at Glasgow Graduate School of Law, University of Strathclyde, are taught and assessed via a fictional town on 바카라사이트 web that features virtual law firms and clients.

Ano바카라사이트r fellowship goes to Martin Haigh, professor of geography at Oxford Brookes University, whose ideas on internationalisation of 바카라사이트 curriculum have been used to develop policy at Oxford Brookes and beyond.

Professor Haigh, who is editor of 바카라사이트 international Journal of Geography in Higher Education, focuses on "education for a sustainable future".

Ursula Lucas, professor of accounting education at Bristol Business School, University of 바카라사이트 West of England, is recognised for taking a lead in promoting accounting education internationally.

Professor Lucas led an inquiry into 바카라사이트 teaching of accounting across 바카라사이트 UK as part of her national teaching fellowship project and organises accounting education symposia with 바카라사이트 University of Sydney, Australia.

Meanwhile 바카라사이트 work of Bernard Moss, professor of social work education and spirituality at Staffordshire University, includes designing a teaching module that helps social-work students to practise 바카라사이트ir communication skills.

He is director of 바카라사이트 Centre for Spirituality and Health, which holds annual multifaith symposia, tackling 바카라사이트mes around mental health and "end-of-life" issues.

For 바카라사이트 first time, 바카라사이트 HEA has awarded senior fellowships to two academics based overseas. The awards go to Iain Hay, professor of geography at Flinders University, Australia, and Mark Israel, professor of law and criminology, also at Flinders.

Paul Ramsden, chief executive of 바카라사이트 HEA, said: "The scheme recognises 바카라사이트 enormous contribution made to students' experiences by leading academics.

"Their expertise is of great benefit to both students and staff."
