This is how I teach
This month we spoke to Associate Professor Benjamin (Ben) McCann, lecturer with the School of Humanities. Recognised for his outstanding teaching through Faculty, institutional and national teaching award schemes, including a 2021 Commendation for the Enhancement and Innovation of Teaching in the category of Promoting student wellbeing, Ben is a passionate and engaging teacher. Here he shares his thoughts on the use of technology increasing student engagement and the importance of encouraging multiple skill sets in future graduates.

First presented in 1991, Stephen Cole the Elder Awards were established through bequest made to the University of Adelaide by a descendant of Stephen Cole the Elder, pioneer South Australian colonist. We spoke to this year’s deserving winners about what they enjoy about teaching, their teaching philosophy and how they have managed during an extremely challenging 2020.
