Welcome to TATAL Webinar 2025!

Our recent webinar held on Wednesday 12th March 2025 provided an insightful exploration of TATAL (Talking about Teaching and Learning), a vibrant community of practice dedicated to reflective teaching. The webinar was hosted by Mei Li and Robert Kennelly, and with the expert facilitation from colleagues from the HERDSA executive, Kwong Nui Sim, Lee Partridge, Alice Brown, Manisha Thakkar, and Gesa Ruge. The audience was from the broader tertiary teaching and learning community in Australia.

Strengthening SoTL through Theory, Methodology, and Reflexivity

Welcome to 2025 with HERDSA SoTL SIG!

We started the year with an insightful session on 21 February, focusing on strengthening the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) through theory, methodology, and reflexivity. Dr Juan Fischer from the University of Melbourne led the session and detailed how these elements can enhance our research and teaching practices.
