Scholarship of Teaching: Publications and Websites

Academic staff take a scholarly approach to teaching and learning through critiquing, evaluating and improving their teaching practice. In addition to teaching and learning forums to share practice, there are many publications and professional associations that support research on improving teaching practice.

Resources:

• Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice (JUTLP)
  A national Journal of Learning and Teaching Practice hosted by the University of Wollongong.
• EdNA Online
  An online service run by the Education Network of Australia containing recent news and events in the Australian Higher Education Sector as well as links and features on teaching developments within Australian Universities.

Government:

• Commonwealth Department Education Science and Training
• NSW Department of Education and Training

National Associations:

• Within Australia the two major related professional associations include Australasian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education (ASCILITE) and Higher Education Research and Development Society of Australasian (HERDSA). Both host very successful annual conferences and publish peer-reviewed journals related to higher education teaching and learning. Internationally, there are many discipline-specific journals that also share knowledge about improving practice.
