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 hands-on, practical learning activities and will be encouraged to reflect on how their teaching practices relate to their particular disciplinary and professional contexts.
The workshop is highly practical in focus, providing an an opportunity for participants to develop a workable plan for one of their own teaching sessions via their engagement with different aspects of the workshop. Opportunities for reflecting on and discussing applications for and implications of using GenAI as part of learning and teaching practices will also be provided in relation to the process of planning for, implementing and evaluating effective, active and inclusive learning and teaching activities.
