Teaching + Learning in IADT is supported and developed by the Teaching and Learning Committee. This is a representative sub-committee of Academic Council. The work of the Committee is determined by its terms of reference.

Teaching + Learning in IADT is led by the Head of Department of Entrepreneurship Dr Therese Moylan with the support of the cross-Institute administrator Laura Devlin. Elearning is supported by the educational technologists Paul Curran and Ciaran Eaton along with other ICT Staff.
