CECS Educational Development
CECS Educational Development promotes research based teaching to deliver effective learning. We aim to assist in the development of courses and programs that employ new methods to meet the changing needs of students.
Education Technology Studio
The EDG has developed an Education Technology Studio. The Studio is open to all CECS staff who would like to work on their Wattle (Moodle-based learning management) site, experiment with educational technology such as video conferencing, or would just like a technology enabled workspace for course/program development purposes.
Staff can book a time slot to ensure there is a workstation available by email to ed_dev@cecs.anu.edu.au.
