Research at TEDI
Academic staff in TEDI undertake research into a range of matters concerning teaching, learning and assessment in higher education which informs our work in supporting excellence in teaching and learning in the University. Research activities include collaboration with academic staff at UQ and at other universities and the supervision of RHD students.
RHD advising
TEDI staff may be principal advisors or associate advisors for students in a range of faculties. Prospective students are welcome to discuss their plans with TEDI staff who can provide guidance on how to proceed towards enrolment.
While prospective higher degree research students cannot enrol through TEDI, TEDI staff are available as advisors for students in the areas of teaching, learning and assessment in higher education.
Current and recent students
TEDI also coordinates a number of workshops in the Becoming an Effective Advisor Program as part of the University’s staff development program.
