Tailored workshops
Colleges and departments can request tailored professional development sessions relating to the strategic goals of your academic group.
The Gwenna Moss Centre for Teaching and Learning's tailored workshops are able respond to current teaching and learning challenges that departments and colleges might face. Great examples include adopting Canvas as the University's learning management system, the institutional need to shift to remote teaching during the pandemic, and more recently, around Generative AI in teaching and learning.
