The AUP Community Blog is a place for global explorers to share stories and resources with their peers and colleagues. Originally developed as the AUP at Home blog during the French confinement period of Spring semester 2020, the blog allows community members to share tips and tricks and support one another with common resources.
The idea is both to strengthen AUP's ability to implement innovative teaching and learning methods and to contribute to the University's strong emphasis on community spirit. Our suggestion box is always open: don’t hesitate to reach out to communicationsaup.edu with your pitches for articles.
Hold yourself accountable. Take action. Advance your knowledge.
