TiF 2025 – “Why Teaching Matters in 21st Century Learning”
Teaching in Focus is a pan-university conference that strives to provide a fertile terrain for informed conversations about teaching and learning while highlighting the practical benefits and conundrums in implementing these ideas wherever we teach. Recognizing that teaching practice can take various forms, ranging in aims and methodology, we learn as much, if not more, as we teach.
TiF 2025 will take place on May 8th in the Life Sciences Building at the Keele Campus - as we explore the theme of "Why Teaching Matters in 21st Century Learning". Our tentative event agenda is available below. Register using our REGISTRATION FORM
