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
