Teaching for Quality Learning at University 5e

Teaching for Quality Learning at University 5e | Higher Education Teaching and Learning | Scoop.it
The concept of constructive alignment has supported generations of students and teachers within higher education. It is a ‘backward design’ method of teaching where the student outcomes are identified first and the teacher then designs teaching activities to enable students to achieve those outcomes, assessing how well they have been achieved. Each chapter outlines how to design the learning outcomes, teaching and assessments for success in learning. 

This updated edition of Teaching for Quality Learning at University: 
• Provides a comprehensive, research-based theory of teaching for teacher reflection 
• Outlines how educational technology can be used in constructively aligned teaching 
• Helps staff developers to provide support for staff and departments in line with institutional policies 
• Offers a framework for quality assurance and quality enhancement across a whole institution 

Teaching for Quality Learning at University continues to be used as a framework for designing higher education teaching systems globally and is essential reading for those in the field.

"The state online higher education post-pandemic and beyond" by Michael D. Sankey

Online learning is not a new phenomenon that had just been discovered in March 2020, it has been developing very strongly for 20+ years. What is new is that we are now realising that what was conceived as being good online learning pedagogy is being challenged by many of the newer student-centred approaches that have evolved in learning and teaching. Not the least because the technologies now allow us to do way more in a more synchronous way, allowing students to work more collaboratively with others. Or maybe it’s more that we have rediscovered some activities that were harder to achieve in the past. Either way, what has also changed in higher education is the emphasis on the student and how providing them with a greater level of agency in their learning presents more traditional educators with new challenges. This paper presents some options for those looking to understand and meet those challenges head on.

Offering Online Students a Front Row Learning Experience

Offering Online Students a Front Row Learning Experience | Higher Education Teaching and Learning | Scoop.it
At some point in our academic careers, most of us have found ourselves stuck in the back of an overcrowded lecture hall. Too far from the presenter to see or hear much of anything, it wasn't long before we lost interest, started on other work, or took a nap. Anyone sitting in those first few rows may have been enlightened and inspired, but for the rest of us, the class was less than productive. Higher education has set out to change that.
