About this event
This workshop brings together participants from around the world to compare expectations, practices and problems in respect of a series of teaching and learning issues that face geographers everywhere. These issues will be explored in groups in the months leading up to the workshop. Each group will produce an outline paper, hosted on this website, which collates the variety of international experiences within the group. The papers from all of the groups will be posted by mid May, after which the discussion will be opened more widely to users of this site.
At the workshop in Brisbane, groups will meet to consider the web feedback on their outline papers, to debate their findings with other workshop participants, and to turn their work into a draft academic article for consideration by the Journal of Geography in Higher Education.
The outline papers can be found below.
