- Tuesday, 1 December 2020
9:30 am - 4:30 pm - Zoom – further details provided upon registration
Our Learning and Teaching forum is a cross-faculty, UTS wide event for the UTS teaching and learning community. The focus this year will be on the experiences, challenges and successes of a truly extraordinary year. We will recognise and celebrate our teachers and students, their resilience, resourcefulness and good practices.
Program
We have identified key themes that have emerged as being of particular importance in the rapid move to remote teaching:
- Building belonging
- Enhancing active and collaborative learning online
- Teamwork
- Work integrated learning
- Working effectively with feedback
- Changing assessments
- Developing blended design
These provide the opportunity to share your practice and approaches about how you’ve managed the rapidly changing environment, responded to its challenges, and learned from the experience including any failures!
