The staff-focused arm of the STLU provides a variety of professional development opportunities for staff to enhance teaching and learning (T&L) on an ongoing basis. This is achieved through the provision of theoretically informed workshops and courses on teaching, learning and assessment in the sciences, one-on -one consultations with lecturers to address T&L challenges, and collaborative evaluation of contact, blended and online courses. We also support the development of the scholarship of teaching and learning in science through seminars and forums for staff interested in researching various aspects of teaching and learning in higher education.
