the university were held to highlight the specific
practicum issues faced in each area.

has been conducted to highlight best practice and
issues of risk to students that may occur in the
work place.

on developing academics' capacity to teach effectively
and design education programs.

collaboration
- share innovations
- canvass common challenges and diverse features
- conceptualise a pedagogy of learning to teach in
higher education.
- provide links to resources
