Showcase Events

The Educator Network hosts two Showcase events each year.  These events provide an opportunity to share your teaching and learning approaches, excitement/anxieties, successes (or not) and engage with colleagues from across the institution.   We endeavour to include the student voice, along with special guests and senior University leaders in these Showcase events.

This face-to-face event is an opportunity for educators across the University of Newcastle to come together to share practice, network over a free lunch, practice in a SoTL workshops and collaborate to enhance the student learning experience.

Designing Meaningful Learning: Equity, Experience and Engagement is the theme this year and aims to shine the spotlight on all educators involved in enhancing the student learning experience. The event showcases innovative practice and brings educators together to share ideas across all schools, units, colleges, and divisions. 

The call for presentations is open to all educators who wish to showcase their practice, share innovations or key learnings. Those who also wish to apply for seed funding will be prompted to fill out the application form after reading the guidelines.
