What is the Learning and Teaching Hub?
The University of Bath Learning and Teaching Hub is designed to offer support and resources for all our staff. It’s your one-stop destination for pedagogical guidance, professional development opportunities and information about our innovative teaching tools. It also includes a detailed reference resource of hundreds of guidance articles to help you find answers to specific questions about our main teaching and learning platforms and applications.
Watch this orientation video for a quick overview of the site, and some tips on how to make the most of what’s here.
Guidance Articles on the Hub
If you have a specific question about a platform or application (i.e. our learning technologies), the guidance section of the hub can help. It’s divided into categories and groups of articles to help you find what you need quickly. We also have a range of articles to support your teaching, with practical advice to help you get started. We also showcase good practice through case studies developed with academic staff here at Bath.
