Innovative Learning

The Centre for Advancement of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (CASTL) was established in 2015 to enhance the scholarship of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and learning in on-campus, blended and online contexts at Avondale University. The Centre's activities are focused on the following four areas:

Teaching, learning and curriculum design
Teaching-research nexus
Honours/HDR supervision support and development.
Management of the centre


The Centre's reach extends to providing professional development activities and resources to academic staff for research into teaching and scholarship, and to support student learning in face-to-face, online and blended learning contexts.

The CASTL's current priorities are:

National and international research partnerships
Virtual Mentoring Program (1st year students)
Growing our postgraduate supervision abilities
Online and blended teaching and learning
