The University of Newcastle has developed an online training module to provide new Tutors and Demonstrators with an introduction to the University of Newcastle context, the roles and responsibilities of tutors and demonstrators, and the fundamentals of teaching and learning, including teaching in practice, and assessment, marking, and feedback. This training module is expected to take approximately 2 hours to complete. You may complete this module and the individual sections at your own pace, and return to revisit the content at any time.
