Workshop 1: Addressing problems/issues on student learning beyond a teaching course
Wednesday 25 July 2007
"This workshop is intended primarily for lecturers who have followed a teaching and learning course that has been based on Reflective Practice, and for those who have already tried to use new methods in their teaching. Usually, problems arise when using new methods and this workshop is intended to address the problems and issues that arise and to examine how we should set about to address such problems as they come up in our work."
Workshop 2: Integrating curriculum design, teaching and assessment to improve learning
Friday 27 July 2007
"Too often university curricula focus on delivering content rather than preparing students for uncertain futures where it is the attributes and skills developed in their studies which will be of importance to them. Students need to be able to identify their own learning needs and construct their own understanding of subjects as well as appreciating what it means to develop expertise and think like a scientist, economist, historian or whatever.
These demands mean that we need to give greater thought to the alignment between the curriculum design, learning activities our students engage in and assessment.
In this workshop we will model an approach which will require participants to read, work collaboratively, teach others and reflect on the implications for their own practice."
Apologies for the delay in making the papers from the workshop available - almost as soon as I returned from Sri Lanka I went off on two weeks' leave and only returned today (20 August).
