Teaching Materials

There are several avenues for making material available to students, including:

• Reading Bricks. Staff should contact their Departmental Administrator to organise a reading brick for students. A reading brick is a hard copy resource such as a laboratory manual or collated reference material. Students can pay for reading bricks at Student and Academic Sevices in the Pauline Griffin Building.
• Library / e-Reserve. Scanned reference documents and electronic journals can be flagged for individual courses via the Library's e-Reserve system. Contact one of the ANU libraries for more information or access the library site at http://anulib.anu.edu.au/services/reserve/electronic_reserve.html .
• Recording Lectures. Lectures can be recorded using tapes but most of the main lecture theatres are connected to the semi-automated digital lecture delivery (DLD) recording system (http://staff-iguide.anu.edu.au/DigitalLectureDelivery.html. Lectures recorded via DLD are available to students at the end of the lecture and are accessible through the course WebCT site. More general audio-visual equipment for staff use is available from Audio-Visual Services at http://information.anu.edu.au/space/ .

e-Learning; WebCT

Every course offered at ANU has a "WebCT" site - WebCT stands for Web Course Tools. This is an online management system which facilitates the delivery of online course materials and interactive activities to students via a web interface. More information and support in developing and managing a course site is described at http://staff-iguide.anu.edu.au/MyOnlineCoursesWebCT.html . It is College of Science policy that the finalised assessment details for a course are posted on the WebCT site no later than the end of week 2 of semester. At a minimum, staff contact details should also be posted on the course site. Need help with WebCT? https://webct.anu.edu.au/login/problems.html

The ANU offers a free and confidential counselling service to all current ANU students and staff (http://www.anu.edu.au/counsel/ ).

Teaching Evaluation Service

Evaluation gives staff feedback on their courses and teaching. This feedback can be used in continuous improvement of teaching, as well as documenting the quality of teaching over time. The Centre for Educational Development and Academic Methods can assist in this process. More information at http://www.anu.edu.au/CEDAM/evaluation/ .
