Fifty lecturers and learning-support staff have been recognised for teaching excellence.

From a vet whose decision to retrain in computing science helped her transform veterinary education to an academic who has criticised the rise of ¡°therapeutic education¡±, this year¡¯s National Teaching Fellows were chosen by the Higher Education Academy from nearly 200 nominations across England and Northern Ireland.

Among them are an expert on assessment, Susan Orr, who is deputy dean of the Faculty of Arts at York St John 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ, and Sarah Baillie, senior lecturer in veterinary education, Royal Veterinary College, 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of London, who developed the ¡°Haptic Cow¡±, a simulator that students can use to practise internal examinations. Dr Baillie was named ¡°Most innovative teacher¡± at the Times Higher Education Awards 2009.

Others to receive a fellowship include Alex Haslam, professor of social and organisational psychology at the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Exeter, who worked on the BBC Prison Study ¨C the basis for the BBC Two documentary The Experiment, which recreated one of the most controversial psychological experiments ever conducted ¨C and Patricia Ashby, principal lecturer at the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Westminster, who has helped to revive phonetics as an independent area of pedagogical practice and research.

Dennis Hayes, head of the Research Centre for Education and Career Development at the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Derby, founder of the campaign group Academics For Academic Freedom, and co-author of The Dangerous Rise of Therapeutic Education, is also recognised.

This year the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Warwick and the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Exeter have three successful nominations each.

Sue Law, director of academic practice at the HEA said: ¡°I am delighted to congratulate our new National Teaching Fellows ¨C their commitment and dedication to supporting learning, teaching and working to maximise student potential is most impressive.¡±

Each winner receives ?10,000. A celebration will be held in London on 29 September.
