'Food for Thought', a series of informal lunch hour discussion sessions, provides a forum for the exchange of ideas about teaching and learning. Each session begins with a brief description of some pedagogical strategy or issue shared by colleagues or students, then followed by discussions and comments.

Introduction to Teaching at Lingnan

The Staff Induction Programme, held prior to the beginning of first semester classes, is designed to welcome new academics into the ongoing campus dialogue about teaching and learning. It aims to familiarize new staff members with the teaching and learning context at Lingnan through sharing experience and teaching tips with peers, discussion of student learning, as well as the understanding of policies affecting the appraisal of teachers and courses.

Teaching Development Seminars and Workshops

The Centre organizes and sponsors regular seminars on issues related to teaching and learning. These seminars provide academic colleagues with the opportunity to explore matters related to teaching effectiveness and to consider these issues with colleagues within and outside their own discipline and department. Presentations by guest speakers are also arranged. The Centre works with academic units to identify areas which might usefully be addressed in a workshop setting, to recommend workshop formats and training strategies, and to suggest other relevant campus resources.

Tutor Workshops

The Centre is responsible for the planning and presentation of teaching workshops for tutor to enhance their teaching effectiveness. Special half-day workshops are organized for tutors on topics particularly relevant to their tutorial responsibilities.
