General Info
The general focus of Teaching Matters is good practice in teaching and learning at UTAS. However presentations are not limited to completed 'success stories' only. Presentations that involve proposed designs/strategies, applications of theory to practice, works in progress and reflections on practice are also encouraged.
Feedback received from the 2002 and 2003 events indicated that presentations about progress being made (including current work), challenges faced, issues raised, key findings, or questions unanswered - were particularly appreciated.
