The front page of FOCUS, vol. 1, no. 3, 1993.

FOCUS on University Teaching and Learning, the Centre for Learning and Teaching’s magazine, features articles contributed by Dalhousie staff, graduate students, and faculty. In circulation since 1993, FOCUS was available both in print and online, with each issue focused on a theme. FOCUS became a blog in 2019, and contains a variety of writing categories. Our new, bi-annual SYMPOSIA tackles themes and topics.

FOCUS contributions attend to the changing and definition-resistant nature of teaching and learning, reaching across disciplinary boundaries to engage one another with stories, problem-solving, inspirations and inquiries from our teaching and learning lives. Come to FOCUS for both practical take-aways and nourishing stimulus that hits deep.
