Teresa Dawson,
LTC Director

"I see the Learning and Teaching Centre (LTC)'s mission as promoting excellence and innovation in teaching and learning campus-wide by encouraging everyone to take a scholarly approach to the educational process. It is no longer true to say that there is no research available to us on teaching and learning. We finally have the ability to provide answers to some of the old perennial questions that intrigue instructors and students alike.
My goal is to make teaching and learning rewarding for everyone who is part of the university community. First, for instructors because if they do not enjoy teaching, or feel rewarded for it, it will not be very inspiring for those in their classes! Second, for our students. Students are much better informed about the educational process than they used to be, and they want and expect to learn - which means engaging them, challenging them and supporting them. Third, for the university itself. As universities become more accountable to students, their parents and their communities, these institutions see good teaching as a way of helping to attract and keep the very best students.
I would love to hear from you about how the LTC can better meet your needs. Please email me at ltcdir@uvic.ca."
