About this Event
What are people trying, testing, and learning in teaching at the University of Melbourne?
Across the University, educators are experimenting with new approaches, responding to emerging challenges, testing ideas with students, and learning what works, what doesn’t, and what they might try next.
Innovation Hour: New Approaches to Teaching and Learning brings some of those conversations into one room.
Hosted by the Education Innovation Community of Practice and Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Community of Practice, the event will feature a series of short presentations from colleagues sharing ideas, experiments, and projects at different stages of development.
You’ll hear about approaches to:
- AI in teaching, feedback, and assessment
- Authentic and innovative assessment
- Student engagement, confidence, and belonging
- Creative, experiential, and active learning
- Feedback and making student learning visible
- Inclusive, interdisciplinary, and culturally informed teaching
- Practical tools that support educators and students
The presentations are only the starting point. There’ll be plenty of time to meet presenters and other attendees, exchange ideas, offer feedback, and connect with colleagues exploring similar challenges.
Who should attend?
Anyone interested in how teaching and learning is evolving at Melbourne.
You don’t need to be presenting, have a project underway, or consider yourself an ‘innovator’. Come along if you’re curious about what others are trying and want to learn, contribute, or make new connections.
