RMIT’s 2018 Learning and Teaching Conference brings the RMIT learning and teaching community together under the banner of Transformations in Tertiary Education. Disruption in the global environment continues to affect the kinds of work our graduates will experience. Within the education sector shifting patterns are shaping the way students access our programs. RMIT is responding to these challenges with a bold, forward-facing and transformational approach.
This year’s conference provides a platform for us all to engage with transformational ideas from inspiring speakers. Participants will explore practical strategies, opportunities and challenges of transformational teaching practice.
