The Teaching and Learning Directorate: What do we offer?
The Teaching and Learning Directorate offers workshops and advice in support of learning,
teaching, assessment and pedagogic research. Please see below the list of topics which are
currently available. For more information or to request a workshop, please contact
teachandlearn@plymouth.ac.uk or drop in to 3 Endsleigh Place for a chat. Bookings for
workshops can be made at any time - there is no deadline for requests. However, due to
popularity, you are encouraged to submit a request as soon as possible, as workshops will
be offered on a first-come first-served basis. In discussion with you and your colleagues, we
will organise the specific emphasis of the workshop and select an appropriate member of the
team to deliver it. This will ensure an approach that is both professional and tailored to your
department's needs and circumstances.
