A Teaching Exchange (TE) Workshop is a forum for teaching colleagues working in the same department to come together to share experiences, insights and ideas about teaching practice. With a view to encouraging more collaboration, workshops are designed to enhance open dialogue across the department, thereby contributing to a bottom-up culture of quality assurance. This handbook describes the components of TE Workshops and provides the tools necessary for setting one up in your department. It was developed out of a series of pilot workshops that took place in UK Higher Education departments teaching media, communications and cultural studies and related subject areas, both undergraduate and postgraduate, both research and practice oriented.

An outcome from an ADM-HEA funded study (2010-2011): "Best Practice Pedagogy in Media, Communications and Cultural Studies".
