August/September 2017

 

Welcome back to a new academic year!

As we begin a new teaching year, CDTLink features an important yet contentious topic, namely evaluating teaching.  We also share two core programmes, Teaching Assistants’ Programme (TAP) and Professional Development Programme – Teaching (PDP-T), conducted in early August 2017.

On evaluating teaching, Emeritus Professor Denise Chalmers, our Educator in Residence (EiRP) for 2017, discusses what quality teaching is, and how this can be effectively documented and shared.  Look out for the public lecture and workshop.

Complementing this are courses and workshops on the Developing a Teaching Portfolio, Student Engagement in Large Classes, Active Learning, Midterm Course Feedback, and Assessing Student Learning Using IVLE.

 

Keep a look-out for our next post.  Have an engaging semester!
