The Institute for Interactive Media & Learning (IML) is the learning and teaching unit of the University.
About IML
Purpose
Our purpose is to create the conditions for teaching, learning and curricula that bring the best possible higher education experience and outcomes for our students.
We achieve this through working in partnership with Faculties, within and across Divisions and, where possible, with students, to build capacity and collaborative cultures.
IML is in the division of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education and Students). Our staff work collaboratively with each other, faculties and other support units across projects and initiatives that support learning and teaching at UTS.

We are also responsible for implementing the university-wide Embedding English Language (EEL) framework.
