Conference theme: Strategies and Innovations in Teaching and Learning
Title: Tertiary Undergraduate Literacy Integration Program (TULIP): An innovative approach to tertiary teaching and learning
Patricia Cartwright and Lynne Noone
Abstract
Increased access to university by students with different backgrounds and capabilities
from those in the past has posed, and continues to pose, dilemmas for lecturers
who seek effective ways of addressing the challenge of undergraduate literacy
and learning. To this end, we have been engaged on a Committee for University
Teaching and Staff Development (CUTSD) funded program that we call TULIP (Tertiary
Undergraduate Literacy Integration Program) which focuses on the integration
of tertiary literacy within content teaching as a means of enhancing student
literacy. The broad aim of the TULIP Project was to build on collaborative and
reflective teaching and learning partnerships between lecturers and students,
between lecturers across two universities, and between lecturers in disparate
disciplines. The Project developed, trialed and evaluated a suite of learner-centred
literacy strategies that comprise the TULIP Resource Kit which foregrounds the
embeddedness of tertiary literacy within content teaching.
