Deep dives
Resourceful Teaching Hub
A new teaching hub has been established to connect educators with valuable resources aimed at enhancing teaching and learning. This platform differs from others by using curators—experts in specific teaching topics—to recommend a concise collection of resources for educators. Each collection usually includes around five to six curated items, much like curated selections in a bookstore, which come with descriptions explaining their relevance and usefulness. This approach helps educators navigate the vast amount of teaching resources available, providing them with handpicked materials that can improve their teaching methods.
