Feedback/Testimonials

I have helped thousands of academics over the years through my workshops, advising, resource development and ongoing professional support. A real highlight for me is when I receive unsolicited positive feedback from those I have engaged with. It confirms that my efforts have been effective and appreciated. Here’s just some of the feedback I have received over the years via evaluation forms and unsolicited emails.

“Adam Morgan's session was excellent - fresh, energetic and relevant.”

“Active & collaborative session was highly engaging and gave me a lot of ideas for engaging my students.”

“The workshop on collaborative learning was very useful to understand the space available for adopting collaborative strategies in tutorial classes.”

“It was a great session in the afternoon as it helped me a lot to understand the benefits of active & collaborative learning in classroom which I can implement with students.”

“The collaborative session in the evening was absolutely amazing.”

“Active + collab workshop was informative and the highlight of conference. Adam Morgan has been the first academic to actually explain and show how to engage students in the classroom, and build and active, and environment through flipped learning.”

“The active + collaborative learning tools session gave me real tangible tools I can apply immediately in the classroom.”

“Afternoon session was very interesting & interactive, in this session, I learnt about how to make a classroom interactive & how to apply collaborative learning in my classroom.”

“I have attended Adam's collaborative learning section and it was amazing! He gave me it’s of inspiration about how to engage with my students during the class. I love the "scratchy" card and for sure I will use this tool in my teaching.”

“Learnt a lot in Adam's workshop about collaborative learning.”

“Insights and ideas re collaborative learning. Adam conducted an outstanding and interactive session.”

“I found the afternoon workshop was fantastic in providing tips for improving my ability to draw on students.”

“Just wanted to shoot you a quick note to say what a fantastic session you ran. The content was great, the meshing of demonstration, theory and practice was superb. And the engagement you achieved was brilliant. Yours was one of the best workshops at UTS that I have been to.”

“In particular, I wanted to acknowledge Adam Morgan for his excellent presentation, modelling and theoretical insights into enhancing group work. His skills as a facilitator and theoretical background made for an engaging and informative workshop. It was a pleasure and honour to attend. I was particularly taken with Adam’s enthusiasm for the University’s efforts in shifting toward enhanced group work, by moving away from the ‘podium’ model for learning. It is my hope that he is recognised for his excellent work.”

“Just wanted to let you know how well the activities we planned for my block class this last weekend went. In particular the use of cards and consensus group task template – in creating a class-wide working definition of “corporate governance”. We kept checking in with the definition as the 2 days wore on and I asked the guest speakers from the ASX to comment on it. I’ve now invited students to cite it as their definition in their written assignments.”

“I attended your groupwork workshop last year which was a real highlight! At the workshop you also made a resource kit available that I have read. Just letting you know that your workshop and resource kit and my teaching experiences at UTS have inspired me towards researching groupwork for the Graduate Certificate Project subject.”

“Another technique you demonstrated in class that I used with my students today, was standing at the point in the classroom where I wanted students to project their voices to. I had several groups of students come to the front of the class and initially I stood at the front and to the side but I noticed that the student speaking only looked at me and spoke at a level that was appropriate to my proximity. When I moved to the back of the room they spoke more loudly and their gaze was less pin pointed on me.”

“Thanks so much for the wonderful workshop on Wednesday. It was a real highlight of the conference - I left so inspired and keen to try different approaches in my tutorials.”

“I really want to thank you for taking the time to offer your support and (excellent!) advice yesterday.”

“Thank you so much for all your support!!! I am very grateful!  My students really liked the activity and I collected their responses for my analysis. It was great to see how all of them participated in discussions.”

“My Tute was a big hit today! I could hardly believe it was the same group of students between last week and this week. They opened up in an unprecedented way both actively and collaboratively.”

“I pretty much duplicated Wednesday’s workshop in the class today. They got to write their thoughts about the week’s topic and discuss in small groups. We used the IF-AT scratch cards and they had so much fun doing the activity in teams. I got to see more interaction amongst them and it helped me identify isolated students and proactively get them involved."
