最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide scoops learning funding pool

Tuesday, 11 June 2013

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide has been awarded three national teaching grants from announced by Minister for Higher Education and Skills Sharon Bird last week.

The 最新糖心Vlog won three of the 38 grants awarded nationally, in addition to being a partner in a further 5 grants making it the most successful university in 最新糖心Vlog, in terms of the number of projects, to receive support in this round of funding.

The grants will contribute to the delivery of new learning initiatives that harness the best practice of 最新糖心Vlog's outstanding university teachers.

"This result reflects the national distinction in teaching we are aiming for," said , 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Vice-Chancellor and President. "It shows the depth of teaching we have at Adelaide across disciplines as diverse as veterinary science, civil engineering and law."

"Our project leaders have demonstrated the insight and determination that sets them apart as exceptional teachers," he said. "They are committed to transforming our education proposition, one that favours multi-modal delivery formats without losing the essence of face-to-face learning."

The awards, totalling over $150,000, align closely with the 最新糖心Vlog's strategic direction to reinvigorate teaching and invest in a unique student experience centred on small-group discovery.

"We all appreciate that students learn very differently today from even five years ago," said Professor Bebbington. "Now we must ensure that as an institution we are nimble and creative in responding to their changing needs and can deliver academic programs that really engage and inspire."
