Teaching and Learning Forum

The Teaching and Learning Forum (TLF) is a regular gathering of staff from across Deakin University who are interested in enhancing teaching and learning. The TLF builds on a number of previous entities, including, most recently, the Teaching Leaders' Forum.

The TLF is located within the Higher Education Research Group (HERG), led by Professor Marcia Devlin, and coordinated by a small organising and advisory group. The Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) provides funding support for TLF events and publications.

The aims of the TLF are to:

• promote good practice by connecting teaching and learning research, scholarship and practice through facilitated discussion of current topics and the dissemination of good practice guides
• be an accessible repository of expertise and mentorship to Deakin staff, available to Faculties, Schools and bodies across Deakin
• contribute to the work of relevant University committees and working parties on teaching and learning issues
• act as a lobby group on teaching and learning issues
• lift the profile of teaching and learning internally and externally.

All Deakin staff are welcome to attend TLF events. The next session (May) will be Teaching with Technology. Details are available on the events page.

The June session will focus on Cloud Learning, presented by Professor Beverley Oliver.
