TECHE Top Five: Essential posts to read for Session 1 preparation!

2021-02-1874-1410-x-743

Did you know that Macquarie has a newsletter and blog dedicated to serving our Learning and Teaching (L&T) community?

Here at This Week, we like to share the love with other quality publications; with Session 1 just around the corner, it is perfect timing to remind our readers about TECHE

While TECHE is primarily a blog run for (and by) our L&T community, there are a lot of interesting stories and opinion pieces that might also interest the wider University community – particularly if you’re interested in hearing how our staff and students are managing with learning online.

They’re always looking for new contributors too, so it’s worth checking out the blog if you think you might have something to add in this space.
