Teaching and Learning Week 2022
Wednesday 27 - Friday 29 April 2022
The past two years have proved that the higher education sector can rapidly adapt to disruption. The theme "Resilient and Responsive Teaching and Learning", with a program shaped by Badugulang Fellows and feedback from our 2021 Teaching and Learning (T&L) Showcase, will allow us to reflect on the swift move to online learning and how to support the future needs of our students. While being transformational, now is the time to determine what has or has not worked, and to use scholarship to further enhance success.
Teaching and Learning Week will provide the opportunity to hear about innovative T&L practices, participate in workshops and connect with colleagues and students. These activities allow dissemination and recognition of good practice and of equal importance, a chance to collaborate and share your journey.
Come and join us and hear what is happening in Schools, Scholarship of T&L, the 21C Project and sessions such as "Safe classrooms for Indigenous teaching: Resilient, responsive or redundant?". Uncover innovative practices in the 'T&L Insights' quick-fire presentations and poster presentations.
Date: Wednesday 27 – Friday 29 April
Location: Parramatta City Campus
