What is GLAD?
The Group for Learning in Art and Design (GLAD) was established in 1990. The Committee is a non-affiliated group of academics advocating Art, Design and Media from across higher education institutions. Particular emphasis is placed on the nature of learning and teaching in Art, Design and Media, with the focus on practice-based learning and research.
History of GLAD
GLAD Now
…an interview with David Vaughan
“In the summer of 2007 David Vaughan stepped down from the chair of the Group for Learning in Art and Design (GLAD), a post he had occupied since its inception. GLAD had its roots in activities promoted by the Council for National Academic Awards (CNAA) which had done a great deal to develop teaching, learning and assessment in what was, in the late 1980s, known as the public sector of higher education.”
