Graduate Teaching Assistants, Tutors and Lab Demonstrators

Introduction to Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (ILTHE) for GTAs, Tutors and Lab Demonstrators 

Introduction to Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (ILTHE) is a training for new Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs), (PhD) Tutors, and Lab Demonstrators. Academic Policy and Governance (APG) regulations indicate that you should receive a minimum of 6 hours training. A total of 3 hours is covered by ILTHE, the remaining 3 should be provided by your School or College.   

The training involves a blended approach, requiring that you complete an online, asynchronous training of 1 hour, prior to attending a live session with a tutor. Live sessions last 2 hours and are scheduled on a rolling basis throughout the academic session. Some sessions are scheduled to take place via Zoom whilst others are in-person on the main campus.  

Attendance

Attendance of the live session completes your ILTHE training. Your attendance will be taken during the live session, and this information will be passed onto your school to let them know you have finished. This will be done at the end of the semester. We do not hand out certificates or proof of completion. 

To enrol for a ILTHE session, participants MUST first complete the pre-session training that can be accessed through the Moodle page. After completing this online material participants can sign up for one of the live sessions via the same Moodle course.
