Description

This course builds on the brief introductions to student learning and effective teaching presented in the Introduction to University Learning and Teaching course. It is based on the assumption that in order to improve student learning, teaching practice needs to be underpinned by an understanding of how people learn. Learning is considered from a number of perspectives that include the experiences participants themselves, their colleagues and students and a diverse educational literature that draws from fields such as adult learning, higher education, research into disciplinary learning and teaching and reflective practice. Participants are asked to explore the nature of good teaching in higher education and approaches to teaching that lead to high quality learning.

Students enrolled in this course will also need to be teaching in higher education.
