History
The Development of Teaching Skills Programme (DOTS) was initiated in 1973 as a project of the Counselling and Development Centre. It became an independent programme in 1977 and at that time its name was shortened to Teaching Skills Programme. In 1980 the Educational Development Office was established with the teaching skills programme as its major activity. In 1989 the Educational Development Office was superseded by the Centre for the Support of Teaching.
The Teaching Skills Programme was designed to aid lecturers and tutorial and seminar leaders with their teaching skills. The programme offered seminars and workshops on such matters as lecturing, teaching effectiveness and use of the library. In addition, it prepared and produced instructional materials and publications relating to teacher effectiveness.
