REGISTRATION

The Ako Aotearoa Academy of Tertiary Teaching Excellence is proud to present three days of Talking Teaching 2018: Engaging Teaching, Inspiring Learning. Our tenth annual symposium will take place at the state-of-the-art Engineering Facility at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch. It will open with an Academy-only day (28 Nov) in which we will welcome new members and invite all members to discuss the future of our organisation, as well as the opportunities to learn from each other and catch up with old friends that we look forward to. Days two and three (29 - 30 Nov) will be open to teachers, academic developers, educational leaders, and others, from around New Zealand, collaborating and contributing to a stimulating exchange of ideas and tips for the teacher’s toolkit. Attendees can expect a mix of oral presentations, panel presentations, roundtable debate and discussion, workshops and knowledge cafes, as well as innovative contributions that defy easy classification. We shall close with the traditional Academy Hour(s). An indicative programme can be found below.
