Abstract

This chapter presents a comprehensive case study of the Cambridge Professional Development Qualifications – Certificate in Teaching & Learning (PDQ T&L) programme, a benchmarked professional development initiative offered by the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC), with a focus of its asynchronous learning model. The study spans three cycles of the programme, from 2022 to 2025, and evaluates the effectiveness of its asynchronous delivery model in enhancing teaching practices among participants. The purpose of this chapter is to explore the various aspects of asynchronous teaching development and to identify areas for improvement in the course structure, participant engagement and reflective practice facilitation.
