Supporting staff from across the University of Aberdeen in the enhancement of learning and teaching
The Centre for Learning & Teaching provides advice and support for all aspects of learning, teaching and assessment. Through collaborations with Colleges, Schools and individuals, the Centre aims to enhance the quality of the University's educational provision and support its mission to 'be excellent in delivering teaching'.
The Centre provides support for staff from across the University who wish to continue their professional development, both for those at the beginning of their careers or new to the University, and for established members of staff who wish to develop further in their teaching roles. The Centre runs a number of formal, extended courses for lecturing staff and for postgraduates and early career researchers, which are externally accredited by the Higher Education Academy.
The Centre is actively involved in enhancing learning and teaching at an institution-wide level by identifying and disseminating examples of good practice in learning and teaching and by providing funding for teaching enhancement activities. It organises workshops on a range of topics, along with larger events such as the University of Aberdeen's Annual Learning and Teaching Symposium.
Staff from the Centre are involved in a range of projects, both within the University and externally. Within the Centre the eLearning team support eLearning activities and developments across the University, whilst the Student Learning Service works with students to develop their academic skills.
