Foundations Programs for University Teaching
Many universities have structured programs that focus on
developing academics' capacity to teach effectively and design
education programs.
The intention of this website is to help establish a network
for those who develop and organise institutional Foundations
of University Teaching programs so they can:
- enable program coordinators to engage in constructive
collaboration
- share innovations
- canvass common challenges and diverse features
- conceptualise a pedagogy of learning to teach in higher
education.
- provide links to resources
A list server has been been established by Kathryn Sutherland at Victoria University of Wellington. To subscribe, please visit the following website and follow the instructions: http://lists.vuw.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/foundations. If you have any problems please email Kathryn Sutherland
