Welcome to the Keele Institute for Innovation and Teaching Excellence

The Keele Institute for Innovation and Teaching Excellence (KIITE) is dedicated to supporting our academic colleagues to deliver a high-quality student learning experience across the breadth of the Keele curriculum. We work in creative partnership with colleagues on programme design, module development and delivery through our Curriculum Design and Learning Design teams. Our Learning Innovation Technology team supports the use of core technologies such as the VLE and Panopto along with digital tools and emerging technologies such as AI. We also provide educational development through programmes and award schemes to those supporting teaching and learning delivery.

At Keele, we have a proud tradition of education: famous for interdisciplinary provision and for making student learning powerfully relevant to society’s challenges. The Keele Institute for Innovation and Teaching Excellence (KIITE) emerges from that tradition, and - in our 70th Anniversary year - re-invents the original ‘Lindsay Experiment’ for the modern student.

We draw together educational experts from across our University to work with schools to support design and delivery of our Distinctive Keele Curriculum. It makes tangible the refreshed Education Vision, overseen by the Pro Vice-Chancellor Education.

Our aim is not to react to educational delivery, or to correct it, but to design it in partnership with programme leaders, students and employers. We are outward facing in our objectives, and work in the spirit of the New Keele Deal to construct a Civic Curriculum that engages with the region and develops collective skills and knowledge.

Our mission is also to raise the profile of our brilliant educators, providing networks of pedagogical debate and action research. We recognise educational scholarship as having parity of esteem with disciplinary research, and we are ready to showcase Keele’s educational innovation to the sector and the world.
