Welcome to the Toolkit for Learning and Teaching.
This Toolkit is for academics who teach and professional services staff who support teaching. It offers support to you in your academic role and provides the information you need to give your students the best possible learning experience.
This resource gives hints, tips and practical examples for delivering teaching from across the University, combined with guidance on relevant University and national policies.
You can navigate your way to each page from the menu on the left side of the page, or by looking at the LeTs A-Z or site map.
