Mike Mimirinis: : Empowering Students by Enhancing Employability Skills: The Case of the BA Human Resource Management Programme

Mike Mimirinis

I am an Educational Developer at the Centre for Learning and Teaching Enhancement, Middlesex University. I have previously worked as an educational consultant and researcher on a number of  projects for organisations such as the European Union, JISC, the Higher Education Academy as well as national organisations in Eastern Europe, Japan, South East Asia and the Pacific. My research interests include phenomenographic methods of research in student learning in higher education, students' approaches to learning in blended learning environments and the pedagogy of portfolio-based learning and assessment. I am delighted to present at the Annual Learning and Teaching conference, an event that has been going from strength to strength; I will co-present with Rea Prouska on the enhancement of students' employability skills through embedded e-portfolios. We are hoping to bring students' voices to the fore and to open up the discussion on programme-level approaches to employability.
