Festival of Teaching

22–24 October 2008

The inaugural ANU Festival of Teaching was a chance to share our teaching successes, explore our experiences and plan for new ways to link the strengths of our research to enhance student learning. The festival showcased the latest winners of the Vice-Chancellor’s Teaching Awards and the recipients of the 2008 Australian Learning and Teaching Council’s Citations for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning. Professor Mick Healey, Director of the Centre for Active Learning at the University of Gloucestershire, gave the keynote speech.
