Module Aims

Explore pedagogic theory to critically inform and implement planning for teaching, learning, and assessment in higher education environments.

Know how to critically engage with student-centred learning, student profiles, and equity to inform and implement inclusive planning choices.

Develop and implement innovative planning choices in relation to technology-enhanced learning, industry engagement, cross-cutting themes, critical and inter-disciplinary thinking.

Engage with critical reflection, professional dialogue, and feedback to critically evaluate teaching, learning, and assessment.

Content Summary

This module provides an opportunity to critically reflect on learning theory and practice in higher education contexts.??The module allows for critical engagement and experimentation with pedagogy and technology that enables student centred learning across disciplines and diverse learning environments.

The participants reflect on their own practice through application of theory and practice to enable transformative and inclusive practices for their students.
