At its meeting on 21 May 2015, Academic Standards Committee received the responses to the recommendations arising from the Review of Theology and Religious Studies. ASC requested an update for the following recommendations for the November meeting:

• Recommendation 5: Update requested on the establishment of closer links with other institutions in relation to student internationalisation.
• Recommendation 7: Update on the review of provision for GTAs and on the informal shadowing scheme.
• Recommendation 11: ASC advised that, with regard to the timing of materials being made available on Moodle, the Subject Area should seek assistance from the Learning and Teaching Centre (L&TC). ASC also noted that it was not appropriate for certain materials to be made available only to students with disabilities and that the Subject Area should consult L&TC also on this issue.
• Recommendation 13: ASC concurred that this recommendation should be drawn to the attention of the Learning and Teaching Centre with an update provided.

Academic Standards Committee is asked to consider the adequacy of the responses and the progress made.
