DfL Forums
The University runs forums, seminars and workshops that are scheduled on a regular basis to support the work being undertaken as part of the Design for Learning Project. From time to time, these will involve guest speakers who have been invited because they have had involvement in curriculum review and renewal at other institutions. These forums are open to all interested staff to attend. If there are external experts of which you are aware that you believe would assist in furthering the DfL cause and help you or your colleagues to renew your curriculum, then let us know at dfl@latrobe.edu.au.
Below provides details of some of the future and past forums, seminar and presentation events.
