tEN Research Stream Investment recipients

Tuesday, 12 February 2019

I’m delighted to announce that the inaugural tEN (the Educator Network) Research Stream investments have been awarded.

Professor Darrell Evans

The tEN Research Investment Scheme is an initiative of the NeW Education Framework and is designed to provide encouragement, mentoring, support and resources that will enable our University educators to undertake high-quality research in teaching and learning. The investments are supported by a series of research development workshops and network events to support educators in the field of scholarship of teaching and learning. Through the tEN Research Stream, educators will be enabled to produce quality research outputs, develop excellence and equity in learning and teaching, test and generate new and emergent pedagogies, and embed a critical, research-informed approach.

There was overwhelming interest in the scheme, with 32 applications received, demonstrating our staff commitment to the student experience and to challenging practice through research. I was particularly impressed by the breadth, focus and approaches of the projects. Due to the high number of quality applications, 12 projects have been award up to $5,000 each.

All University staff are encouraged to attend the tEN Research Stream open network events. Read more about these on the Education Redesign News, Events and Updates page.

Please join me in congratulating the project teams, who are listed below.
