TLU Seminar Series

TEACHING AND LEARNING SEMINAR SERIES 2009

  • Have you trialled an innovation in your teaching and want an opportunity to share your experience and receive feedback?
  • Are you puzzling over some aspect of your teaching practice or your students’ learning and want to hear about others experiences?
  • Are you looking for a regular group of people in the faculty to talk with about the teaching and learning in your subject?
  • Want to find out what the current research on university teaching and learning has to say?
  • Have you thought about conducting research into your teaching so that you can improve student learning?
  • Want to know more about publishing the outcomes of your teaching innovations?

In 2009, the Teaching and Learning Unit (TLU) is hosting a teaching and learning seminar series. It is intended to bring together people from across the faculty who are interested in sharing ideas and learning more about what it means to take an evidence-based and scholarly approach to their teaching practice.

The TLU welcomes suggestions for topics, as well as proposals for seminars from Visiting Scholars. If you would like to give a seminar in the series, contact Dr Tai Peseta (tpeseta@unimelb.edu.au or 8344 3501) in the TLU.
