Each newsletter looks back at a Teaching Matters blog series. Recent series have included those on Embedding enterprise in the curriculum. EFI, and Moving forward with ChatGPT.
The newsletter’s ‘5 Things’ section offers a handful of insights into the series from the Teaching Matters team, while the Collegiate Commentary section features valuable reflections from our colleagues at other Universities.
