The Flinders Learning and Teaching Academy is designed to support and improve teaching quality and practices within and between Colleges, raise the profile and build awareness of our teaching specialists, and help generate and facilitate Scholarship of Learning and Teaching opportunities.
Through consolidating and leveraging existing activities, the Learning and Teaching Academy provides a coherent structure across and within Colleges to enable, support and promote exploration, innovation and excellence in teaching and the support of learning.
The Learning and Teaching Academy operates in a hub and spoke model with an academy in each College and an umbrella academy to facilitate coordination between the Colleges and support University-wide activities. It is open to all teaching academics including teaching specialists and balanced academics, as well as professional staff.
