Who should attend?

This one-day workshop is compulsory for new educators, lecturers and teaching fellows. It is intended for staff who are beginning to teach undergraduate and/or postgraduate students at Imperial.

 
The workshop provides an opportunity for new and experienced staff to consider the factors that influence the manner in which students learn, and how teachers can best facilitate that learning across the whole range of their work. As well as considering relevant teaching and learning methods, course participants will take part in a number of learning activities and will be encouraged to reflect on their own teaching responsibilities.

Key areas:

  • Student approaches to learning 
  • Supporting student learning in higher education
  • Enhancing teaching methods
