-
- See your subject through fresh eyes: Explore how students experience LMS design and delivery in other subjects—then reflect on how your own students might be engaging with yours.
- Borrow what works, adapt what inspires: Discover practical examples of inclusive design, scaffolded assessment, and media use that you can tailor to your own discipline and teaching style.
- Enhance LMS design and delivery: If you’re unsure about how your LMS site compares, Open Classrooms gives you a safe, supported way to explore best practice and make improvements.
- Connect with colleagues across faculties: Join discussions that foster peer learning, idea exchange and collaborative innovation.
- Align with strategic priorities: Showcase your subject’s alignment with the Framework for Educational Excellence and the Advancing Students and Education Strategy—great for promotion and recognition.
- Get support, not just exposure: Attend workshops and use templates developed by Teaching and Learning Innovation team to uplift your subject —this is a developmental opportunity, not a performance review.
