Learning and Teaching Showcase Week 12 -18 August 2009
The 2009 Learning and Teaching Showcase Week was held in the week 12-18 August 2009. The purpose of the week was to promote engagement with the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning through two keynote speakers, staff sharing examples from their practice, and promotion of the ALTC grants and awards.
The keynote speakers were Dr Kerri-Lee Harris from the University of Melbourne speaking on Curriculum diversification in Australian Universities and the implications for academic standards; and Professor Geoff Scott PVC (Quality) from the University of Western Sydney speaking on The changing nature of the academic role. Dr Kerri-Lee Harris also ran a workshop on Implementing Peer Review of Teaching and a question and answer session for those interested in following up on issues raised in her keynote address.
16 sessions at which 44 people presented were held across the week. These included a workshop and a student panel discussion. In total (including presenters) 120 people attended on average 1.6 sessions each resulting in 186 individual session attendances (not including the organizer). Highest attendances were recorded at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences session, the Technology for Learning session, and the closing keynote address Professor Geoff Scott.
The Learning and Teaching Showcase Week was organised as part of UNE’s Promoting Excellence Initiative, an ALTC funded project
