In today’s environment, we know that students face a great number of challenges as they study at university. But how can we provide support (both academic and wellbeing) to students at scale? How do we engage students in rooms of 200, 300 or 500 with a single teacher at the front of the room?
In this session, visiting scholar Associate Professor Amanda White OAM will share her approach to leveraging technology to manage, engage and energise large cohorts. Amanda is an AAUT Award for Teaching Excellence winner, member of the Order of Australia and teacher of large (1000+) classes. She’s an active ASCILITE member and her recent work is related to frameworks for designing assessment at scale.

About UQ Teaching Focused Network
Coordinated by: Associate Professor Rachel Fitzgerald
The UQ Teaching Focused Network is open to all UQ staff interested in scholarly approaches to teaching, although teaching-focused (TF) staff are the primary audience.
This network connects TF academics from across UQ, promotes the sharing of practices, nurtures support for career development, enables consultation on strategic planning, and exchanges information relevant to TF roles.
The TF Network Leadership Group steers and guides the direction of the network, including events and communication amongst TF academics across UQ.
