About the Repository

This ACDS repository includes online teaching and assessment resources developed across Faculties of Science, particularly those resources that would benefit teachers and students of large mainstream subjects.

All published resources go through a rigorous evaluation process undertaken by discipline experts. This aims to promote wide discussion and shared understanding of the learning goals, pedagogies and evidence-based evaluation of the resources that it contains.

See the Reviewing Criteria used for the assessment of resources.

Do you have a resource to share?

Have you developed a resource to support learning undergraduate science or mathematics online? Is this something you could share with other science educators?

The type of resources we are looking for include but are not limited to: lab activities and worksheets, lecture material, assessment tools, interactive learning modules, etc.

Sharing resources is good not only for the benefit of the community of science educators. Having a resource published in the ACDS repository is evidence that your teaching has an impact beyond the students in your classroom and is of national significance.

Authors of resources that pass the reviewing process and are published on this repository will receive an ACDS certificate attesting to their quality.
