Academic development

The Teaching Innovation Unit offers several options for teachers to develop their skills further. The TIU short courses provide UniSA staff with both practical and theoretical skills to support a career in teaching at UniSA. We also support your professional development with online modules, consultations, symposiums, peer partnerships and other training sessions. To find out more, please check out what's on at TIU. In addition, bespoke Teaching and Learning workshops can be arranged by negotiation.
