The Learning and Teaching Enhancement Centre (LTEC)
The Learning and Teaching Enhancement Centre (LTEC) leads the development of educational practice across Kingston University.
We support the University's corporate mission to 'enhance students' life chances' by supporting, celebrating and sharing excellence in learning and teaching, embedding student-focused and inclusive teaching practice across our institution. We support others to learn and develop their practice, whilst we ourselves learn through teaching, scholarship, research and professional practice.
