Arts & Education NeXus
Targeted Professional Learning (Issue 1 - March 2018)
This is just the beginning...
Welcome to the inaugural Faculty of Arts and Education NeXus! This is a monthly newsletter focused on showcasing learning and teaching opportunities, achievements and contributions. This first issue shows you how you can get started with the Learning and Teaching WIKI. The Learning and Teaching WIKI provides opportunities for the co-creation of resources both within and across schools and faculties. It provides a means where we can be proactive in the learning and teaching space and is a place where we can bring together useful resources that we critically reflect on and use to inform our teaching practice.
I invite you to share, collaborate and showcase your work via the Learning and Teaching WIKI. I also encourage you to contribute to this monthly newsletter by contacting Kath or Harriet. Whether it be as an individual, part of a teaching team or through your School Learning and Teaching Committee, we want to make your work visible and promote best practice across the faculty. I look forward to seeing your contributions in this space!
