Teaching News You Can Use (TNYCU) is a UNSW repository of two-minute videos outlining readily usable teaching practices for tackling the following common (online and face-to-face) teaching challenges:
- Assessment and feedback
- Building student communities
- Challenging and supporting students' active learning
- Inspiring students
- Leveraging student diversity
- Linking learning to context
- Supporting student wellbeing
- Using AI in teaching and assessment.
TNYCU was developed in 2021 by Professor Peter Heslin and our Scientia Education Academy (SEA). The videos within it emerged from an SEA Exemplary Teaching Practices Award competition designed to:
- Unearth widely applicable, useful teaching practices for addressing those teaching challenges.
- Provide everyone who teaches at UNSW an opportunity to share and be recognised for their most useful teaching practices in ways that may support job application, tenure, promotion, or teaching award applications.
- Further build the teaching community at UNSW by expanding the basis for conversations about “what works” and appreciation of colleagues based on how they teach.
- Enable submissions that won, were finalists, or earned an honourable mention in each category to be shared via this repository.
