SHORT COURSE - Facilitating and Supporting Learning in Professional and Higher Education

Wednesday 28 Jan 2015 - 3rd February 2015 (Wed-Tues, not on Sat/Sun)
9:00-4:30


This course is for new and experienced lecturers, demonstrators and anyone else with a teaching role in Higher Education. If you are new to teaching in HE, this 5 day short course will help you to settle into your new role, offer opportunities to discuss a wide range of issues around academic practice and provide a platform for networking across disciplines and schools at QMU. If you already have experience of teaching in HE, this is a good refresher course - and attending the short course can give you credits towards the PGCert/MSc in Professional and Higher Education.

The Course is Designed to allow staff and research students the time and space for in-depth engagement, networking and reflection, uninterrupted by other work commitments. This course offers:
• Micro-teaching: opportunities to teach, be observed and receive constructive feedback on your teaching; to observe others teach and thereby experience a range of approaches; for peer- and self evaluation of practice in an informal setting.
• Short information briefings highlighting particular aspects of the lecturing role at QMU, such as e-learning, plagiarism, student support, assessment for learning, Theories of learning.
• In-depth workshops on teaching, learning and assessment, exploring for example marking, feedback, group work, lecturing, course design.
• You need to be able to commit to the full course.
