Teaching Strategy Roundtable Series

The Centre for Teaching and Learning is excited to begin a series of roundtable discussions on a variety of current topics relating to teaching in and out of the classroom. Each discussion topic will focus on successful teaching and learning strategies and will commence with one or more brief presentations and then enable a rich discussion and sharing of practical teaching ideas among participants. We hope that this series of regular lunchtime roundtables will provide a platform for the exploration of a variety of innovative ideas about teaching and for the sharing and showcasing of a broad range of teaching practices.
