Dear Reader,<\/p>\n

Increasingly, people who teach in higher education acknowledge their role in crafting effective learning experiences. They seek out information, dialogue, support and ongoing development to help them bring specific, evidence-based strategies to their teaching practices.<\/p>\n

Our central unit LET plays a pivotal role in supporting good teaching and a learning-centred environment. LET is a unit of the Rector at ETH Zurich and stands for Educational Development and Technology<\/a>. We fulfil our task by offering didactic courses, supporting innovative teaching, moderating curriculum development processes, facilitating online exams, evaluating lectures and examinations, and managing the IT services these activities require.<\/p>\n

With this blog, we aim to create a space where we can showcase effective teaching practices, share information and reflections with regards to projects from our unit, and generally inspire discussion on educational development, technology, and innovation.<\/p>\n

Moreover, we hope this blog contributes to creating an interdisciplinary community of people all over ETH who are engaged in learning-centred teaching, its further dissemination and development.<\/p>\n

We cordially invite you to give us feedback on the blog and its contents. To do so, please use the “contact us” form on the “About this blog<\/a>” page.<\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to making this blog a valuable resource for teaching staff at ETH and beyond.<\/p>\n

Warm regards,<\/p>\n
