Upcoming presentations

For our Thursday 18 April session, we have the pleasure of welcoming two outstanding colleagues from Arts. We hope you can join us.

  • A lecturer’s journey: Online course design through continuous ideation. Presenter: Dr Maxine Lewis, Faculty of Arts, Classics and Ancient History.
  • Connecting students across the South Pacific: Designing an inclusive online course. Presenter: Dr Nicole Perry, Faculty of Arts, German and Comparative Literature.

Our aim is to empower educators and learners through collaborative exploration and innovation in learning design, assessment strategies, and technology-enhanced education (including Generative AI) and to foster compelling, engaging, and inclusive learning experiences. Through building our learning community, we hope to advance university education through innovation, collaboration, and technology, fostering a culture of excellence and inclusivity in learning and teaching.

If you or a colleague would like to share your learning design and teaching practices (failures, wins, learnings or conundrums!), to contribute to the teaching culture across the University, please get in touch with us at raa@auckland.ac.nz
