FOCUS on University Teaching and Learning

Posted by Centre for Learning and Teaching on May 8, 2024 in General Announcements

罢丑别听聽has been revamped, and we鈥檙e excited to share with you some changes and new聽features.聽The site itself has a new look, to improve the experience of finding and reading posts within our different contribution categories. In addition to How Tos, Articles, Reflections, and Reviews, you鈥檒l find a new category in the top bar navigation: 鈥淭hat鈥檚 Nifty!鈥 Nifty things are small, but potent, pedagogical tactics that satisfyingly, efficiently, or elegantly solve or achieve a teaching & learning problem or goal鈥攕ometimes, all we need is one nifty thing to shake up our teaching!

Additionally, FOCUS is bringing back thematic issues with our new blog feature, Symposia. These will be collections of contributions from different voices across campus addressing a single topic or theme, published twice a year.聽Contributions to the first symposium will be published in Fall 2024, on the聽topic of hybrid-flexible (鈥渉yflex鈥) course delivery. If you are interested in contributing to the symposium, or have an idea for a FOCUS piece, email the editor, Kate Crane:聽kate.crane@dal.ca

Last, you can now 聽so you don't miss out on any new content.聽锘縎ubscribers will receive a quarterly newsletter with updates on recent posts, Symposia, and special issues.

Beginning as a quarter-annual printed newsletter,聽FOCUS moved to an online聽blog format in 2020. From the beginning, it聽has long been a place for聽staff, graduate students, post docs, and faculty to contribute聽thought on the changing and definition-resistant nature of teaching and learning, reaching across disciplinary boundaries to engage one another with stories, problem-solving, inspirations and inquiries from our teaching and learning lives.聽
