Teaching and Learning Research
Discovering how technology enhances pedagogy is a driving force behind our efforts here at TLT, and a great deal of what we learn comes from our collaborations with others across the University. Through our research projects, an understanding is developed with regards to how technology supports teaching and learning in a wide range of contexts.
