Kia ora tatou,

This resource (some sections are still in draft) is aimed to help the learning and teaching community at the Faculty of Arts to create learning experiences that maximise the success for all students. Through sharing practices, resources, and experiences, it provides practical advice on underpinning philosophies of learning innovations and offers a space for you to contribute.

Learning and teaching experiences build on the reciprocal exchanges between teachers and students, defined as ako, and new knowledge arises from that. Ako, to teach and to learn, is a guiding design principle of the TeachWell@UoA Framework for Learning and Teaching (January 2020), which was developed to support university teachers in various contexts. This resource aligns with TeachWell@UoA across the five identified areas of teaching and learning activities and can help you to work with the framework:

Design for learning
Teach for learning
Assess for learning
Reflect on learning
Contribute to learning. (under development)

Course Structure

To contribute or give feedback, email Bettina (bettina.schwenger@auckland.ac.nz). This resource is supposed to change over time with your input. Ideally, examples of your learning and teaching strategies are part of it.
