Technology Demonstrators (TechDems) is a Learning and Teaching Futures Portfolio initiative aligned with the UniSQ Education Plan 2022-2025. Its aim is to apply the Process for Innovation and Adoption of Educational Technologies to curriculum and teaching. This involves developing practical understanding of edtech by providing opportunities for exploration and experimentation within a supported learning environment.

Through the scholarly and evaluative integration of educational technologies, TechDems supports academics to develop creative teaching practices and adopt relevant pedagogies to provide choice, accessibility and enhanced learning opportunities for all learners.
