First Education Research Group conference

Learning & Teaching

A new group set up at the University of Adelaide to promote best practice in higher education learning and teaching is to host a conference for the South Australian tertiary sector.

The Education Research Group of Adelaide (ERGA) is a unique cross-disciplinary group with a mission of promoting high quality University learning through evidence-based, practical approaches to teaching.

Group members aim to enhance student learning across all faculties of the University of Adelaide by comparing and contrasting teaching methods between disciplines.

ERGA will hold its inaugural conference on September 20-21 and is calling for papers under the theme "Building Higher Education that Works: Methods and Results".

Group Convenor Edward Palmer said the conference was the ideal opportunity for staff to share their experiences of successful teaching methodologies, technologies, assessments or other educational approaches.
