The primary role of the TLA is to act as a conduit between the TLU and Departments about teaching, learning and related issues. For example, the Associates will assist the TLU to promote interest from Departments when calls are made for Teaching Innovation Grants and Teaching Awards.

Importantly, Associates will work with the TLU to identify areas of interest or concern for academics in the Departments, with a view to developing targeted seminars or workshops around such issues.

Other activities that might be part of the role of the TLA include the provision of a disciplinary perspective on teaching and learning matters and the promotion of TLU activities and programs in Departments.

Being responsive to the needs of Departments is an important aim of the TLU.
