All but one SPHEIR project includes activities to enhance teaching skills. In some projects this involves training in new teaching and assessment practices for teaching staff across multiple universities, disciplines and countries (PEDAL, PEBL); while in other projects pedagogical development complements curriculum reform of specific degree programmes, or module/course offerings (TESCEA, AQHED, PfP, TIDE, PADILEIA).
