Participants will learn about and share their personal knowledge and experiences of innovative and student-centred teaching models in use around the university in order to increase their effectiveness as brokers of student learning and as agents who can encourage students to take increasing responsibility for their own learning. The focus will be on student-centred rather than teacher-centred learning approaches.
| Objectives | On successful completion participants will be able to: 1. share and discuss student-centred approaches to teaching and learning focusing on particular educational needs and imperatives; 2. select, develop and implement an innovative, student-centred intervention in their own discipline/professional area to enhance student learning outcome; and 3. evaluate the effectiveness of implementing the alternative teaching/learning approach. |
