Dubai new campus
Our Dubai New Campus opened in spring 2021. The resources provide guidance on how to make the most of the innovative and creative learning spaces to provide active learning and to connect across campuses. There are also resources for staff to share with students to help them make the most of the learning spaces and the new opportunities afforded by them.
New to teaching
Our ‘New to teaching’ resources are here to support you whether you’re just starting out in teaching or looking to refresh your skills.
Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
Our Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) resources have been written to support you. The guides introduce you to concepts in SoTL, the steps needed to complete a SoTL project, opportunities for dissemination, and some of the challenges you might face when you carry out a SoTL enquiry. We also explore SoTL as educational leadership, and why we should take an evidence-based approach to strategic decisions about teaching and learning.
