Welcome to the School of Business and Law’s Future Innovation Learning and Teaching Research Group (FILTeR).

FILTeR delivers research that shapes student-centered, transformative, engaging, and inclusive learning and teaching practices that will equip our students to solve real-world problems, ensuring that CQU School of Business and Law graduates are flexible, adaptive and in high demand. 

We strive to partner with others to deliver high-quality and innovative research projects to challenge and improve learning and teaching practices within the School of Business and Law as we deliver inclusive, equitable, world-class, and transformative education that promotes lifelong learning opportunities.

Brew, Bite, and Brainstorm

Our Brew, Bite, and Brainstorm sessions focus on enhancing teaching and learning practices within the School of Business and Law. These interactive gatherings provide a platform for educators to share insights, exchange ideas, and develop innovative strategies. Participants benefit from shared experiences and practical solutions to improve their instructional methods. CQU Staff can check out recordings of teaching and learning seminars on StaffNet.
