Welcome to UCL Teaching and Learning Network (TLN)
About TLN
The TLN is an informal network for UCL staff. We share ideas and resources and discuss new developments in teaching, learning and assessment. The network is co-ordinated by the Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT) and the Learning Technology Support Service (LTSS). The idea is to showcase good practice from UCL, and occasionally to bring in outside experts.
TLN lunchtime sessions
In previous years the TLN has held monthly sessions on a Wednesday, but this year we are trying a new format with a series of lunchtime presentations, every fortnight, on different days of the week. The format is a 25-30 minute presentation followed by up to 15 minutes for questions, and discussion and networking.
You are invited to bring your own lunch - cold drinks will be provided.
Dates for spring 2011
All sessions are held from 1.05 pm-1.55 pm. All sessions will be held in Cruciform Lecture Theatre 2.
