Sample Subject Updates Table

It is important that survey feedback and subject changes are communicated to students. University guidelines recommend using the LMS for this (see here).

To assist in this communication, BEL+T has prepared this sample Subject Updates table. A blank table is available to be added to Canvas subject sites – please contact abp-belt@unimelb.edu.au to arrange, or talk to a member of BEL+T when planning subject teaching for the next semester.
