Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the *call for abstracts* for the 2017 UCT 
Teaching and Learning Conference on *2 August* with the theme of 
“Building Capacity for Change” which will represent the most 
contemporary experiences, insights and research by UCT staff about 
changes in teaching and learning.  Abstract submissions for this year’s 
UCT Teaching and Learning Conference (TLC2017) are now open until *2 
June*. All UCT staff and students are welcome to attend TLC2017 at a 
venue to be announced.

This year’s theme of *“Building Capacity for Change”* acknowledges 
ongoing fundamental debates concerning the purposes and nature of 
universities within a shifting South African Higher Education landscape. 
Presenters are invited to frame their presentations to highlight the 
ways in which their work relates to change in approaches to teaching and 
learning, assessment practices, curriculum, inclusion of student voices, 
technology integration, or systemic change. TLC2017 promises to be a 
dynamic and thought provoking experience involving a large, diverse 
network of lecturers, students, researchers, tutors, managers and 
support staff. We invite you to submit an abstract or synopsis 
<https://goo.gl/forms/dhCL3esOvw015Aql2> for presentation in a wide 
range of formats of different and interactive experiences. Please see
