The Teaching Enhancement Programme (TEP) is a programme that provides a collaborative space for learning and teaching development in the Mandela University where academics work collaboratively with Teaching Development team to explore various approaches to and understandings of ‘teaching for learning’. The programme aims to work collaboratively with academics to explore learning, teaching and assessment from a scholarly perspective in order to enable lifelong learning and to encourage reflexivity and praxis. The programme offers a structured, pro-active, context specific, a collaborative and safe space, and flexible approach to enhancing teaching development for novice and early career academics at the Nelson Mandela University. It enables faculties to utilize the full programme, or aspects of the programme, on a customized basis.
