Teaching Tips on Tap

This is a new initiative of the Centre for Teaching and Learning. The Centre’s webpage has started building a database of short video clips that explain and explore various useful aspects of teaching and pedagogy. The short videos are available in the public domain for benefiting the teaching community everywhere.
