UWS Learning and Teaching Week 2008

Inaugural UWS Learning and Teaching Week,
3-7 November 2008

"Excellent, enthusiastic, conversational contributions from participants.... Contributions from participants validated and expanded perspectives."

"I loved having the opportunity to put together a presentation based on my teaching experiences and am now motivated to try and develop that presentation into a paper that can be submitted for publication."

"Good session that offered information outside my speciality and insight into another area." 

- Comments from participants

This inaugural event was intended to create an opportunity to highlight the wonderful achievements of our teaching staff at UWS, disseminate the outcomes from many of the LTAP Projects, and showcase exciting new developments in teaching and learning practice at UWS.

44 presentations were held across five days and six campuses. Key presenters included senior UWS academic staff, teaching award-winners and Learning and Teaching Action Plan (LTAP) Project Leaders.
