Connecting UNSW and VicTeach Communities of Practice: discussion of connecting and maintaining engagement in teaching
Tuesday 8th December, 2 – 3pm (Wellington) 12pm – 1pm (Sydney)
Platform: https://vuw.zoom.us/my/victeach
Both the University of New South Wales and Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington have teaching focused communities of practice.
In this Zoom event we are linking the two universities' communities of practice and hope that this is the first of many shared events.
Come along to meet and chat to each other about connecting and maintaining engagement in teaching.
We will use several online tools during this event: Slido for polls and the new feature in Zoom which allows you to select which breakout room to join.
Please update Zoom to version 5.3.2 or later. There will be technical support via chat as well.

In 2019, Education Focussed (EF) academics at UNSW formed Communities of Practice (CoPs) that align not only with the UNSW 2025 Strategy but also with Faculty-specific priorities and interests. The aim was to align the EF CoPs more closely with Faculty-identified priorities whilst maintaining the benefits of a cross-disciplinary working group. Each CoP is working on learning and teaching initiatives that are broad in scope and applicable to multiple study areas, ensuring university-wide impact.
VicTeach is a staff community-led group at Victoria University of Wellington interested in developing and sharing good practice in teaching and learning. The community is keen to share ideas on teaching practice, technology enhanced learning and educational research opportunities. This group is formed and run by staff of the University with the aim of providing networking opportunities for staff across Faculties and schools.
