Ready to Teach Week is a program of online and in-person activities designed to help you prepare course materials for the upcoming semester.
Teaching@UQ
The Teaching@UQ program provides academics who are new to UQ with an introduction to the University's teaching and learning culture. The program offers a range of activities where participants:
- Discuss assessment, learning and classroom management through learning activities in UQ spaces with UQ systems modelled by teaching experts.
- Learn about UQ’s teaching approaches, policy and culture.
Receive personal feedback on their teaching and develop networks with colleagues across UQ.
eLearning workshops
The eLearning team are offering a range of practical workshops on eLearning tools during 2022. They are published on the UQ Workday website and are open for registrations.
eLearning Workshops for Tutors
To address professional learning requirements for tutors at UQ, ITaLI eLearning team is running a series of workshops, including Learn.UQ Basics for Tutors, Active learning with Zoom for Tutors, PadletUQ for Tutors, Zoom in the Room for Tutors.
Ed Discussion to facilitate a sense of belonging
Ed Discussion can be used in courses to increase a sense of belonging for students. Interactions amongst staff and students can be enhanced through questions and answers, sharing documents, annotatable images, video and even math equations. Ed can also be used for social posts including memes, gifs and emojis, facilitating an engaging online learning environment.

Turnitin GradeScope now available
GradeScope facilitates the marking of handwritten assessments such as math, chemistry and physics, but can also be used for marking computer software. GradeScope allows the grouping of similar student responses together for simultaneous marking and feedback, greatly improving the efficiency of the marking process in large courses.
Coordinators can set up GradeScope for either student submission of scanned documents or staff submission. GradeScope is now available for all courses. View the guides or attend a workshop to find out more.
See how Dr Archie Chapman uses RiPPLE to increase student engagement by having students create their own learning resources, share them with their peers, and receive peer feedback and evaluation (YouTube, 3m 11s).
