Balancing teaching and research
You convene two units and you co-teach on another and that is just a fraction of your workload. You have limited time for ‘extra-curricular’ activities and you want to integrate your teaching and research where possible. For teaching development, you prioritise practical ‘just-in-time’ professional learning that helps you streamline teaching preparation and administration so that your face-to-face and online teaching is more efficient, effective, and most importantly enjoyable, for you and your students.
