The Centre for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching (CELT) works with Faculties and Support Services on the support, development, and recognition of staff and students as educational developers, practitioners, researchers, and leaders.
The USW Curriculum 2030 principles comprise eight principles within which all curricula at the University are designed.
The best student experiences come from exposure to high quality teaching. Our courses (PgCLTHE, New2HE), schemes (ROPS, PAC) and research will help you to broaden and deepen your teaching skills and knowledge.
Our regular events enable colleagues to keep up-to-date with best practice in and new approaches to learning and teaching.
Learning and teaching at USW is underpinned by principles (curriculum, assessment, active learning, the academic blueprint and much more), enacted by policies.
We help colleagues gain the professional recognition they, and their work, deserves through PSF, NTFS, CATE & STARS which helps them advance their careers.
The Digitally Enabled Education team will help you make the most effective and appropriate use of the digital technologies at your disposal through resources, workshops and resolving your ad-hoc requests for help.
We have a team of dedicated professionals focussed on enhancing pedagogy and the use of teaching and learning technology at USW, and supporting you with both.

This site follows the assessment life cycle, from the creation of a new assessment to its implementation throughout the academic year and will introduce you to USW's Assessment Principles. Although the focus in the assessment life cycle is, primarily on summative assessment the principles set out here relate to formative assessment as well.
Active Learning has been the framing pedagogy of USW learner experience for many years. This site will introduce you to the USW EAL Principles. The principles keep true to the USW pedagogic offer of inclusive, accessible and digitally supported Active Learning, and enable local flexibility around a common core offer.
A Community of Expertise, or CommExp for short, is a group of USW staff who come together because of a shared expertise in a particular area of work, research or pedagogy. CommsExp are vibrant, safe and friendly places to meet people from across the University and, through discussion about what you do and why you do it, enable mutual learning and unexpected new ventures to emerge.
