Professional Development
The University provides extensive opportunities for academic staff to become both effective and scholarly in their teaching practice.
Induction into Learning and Teaching at CSU
When academic staff are first appointed, they enter a formal induction into the principles and practices of learning and teaching at CSU. To meet probation requirements they must complete the first two subjects of the program, EEL409 University Learning and Teaching in Higher Education and EEL416 Learning and Teaching at CSU. They may then complete the rest of the Graduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education.
Continuing Professional Development at CSU
A range of continuing professional development opportunities are also provided for academic staff to develop new knowledge and skills in teaching.
Teaching Support and Resources
Educational Designers
A large team of Educational Designers work with academic staff in designing and developing quality learning resources (including e-resources) that are supported by relevant communications technology, in particular, CSUInteract. Educational Designers are located within the Schools of CSU and are also involved in the evaluation of learning and teaching, staff development for academics, and the application of technology in learning and teaching.
