Educating professionals is the focus of teaching and learning at the Australian Technology Network of Universities. The ATN aims to ensure that our graduates are strategic and creative thinkers, who possess knowledge, professional competence, a sense of community responsibility, and who value life long learning. The ATN Teaching and Learning Committee (TALC) is focused on the effective use of educational technology.

ATN Early Career Academics Symposium
ATN TALC hosts yearly a symposium for Early Career Academics, in order to promote interest in teaching and learning in academic staff in the early stages of their university careers.
Participants in the symposium are early career academics from across the ATN who have already shown evidence of scholarly and innovative teaching and potential for developing leadership in teaching. The symposium offers opportunities for participants to share interesting and innovative teaching practices and develop.
By encouraging new academic staff to start their professional development as early as possible, the ATN is helping to ensure the continuing and future high quality of its programs, courses and research initiatives.
