Hi Sally,
We run a series of taster sessions for all staff on learning and teaching in FE/HE. These are often attended by new academic staff, Graduate Teaching Assistants, PhD students and academic related staff. The short workshop format (2.5 hours) is often flexible enough to fit in with busy academic timetables and the facilitated discussions around aspects of learning and teaching, often trigger interest in pursuing specific qualification routes to teaching (which we offer via our Creative Arts Education courses). The topics we cover currently are as follows:
Introduction to learning and teaching
Getting your head around...assessment and feedback
Getting your head around...becoming more inclusive
Getting your head around...developing your teaching
Getting your head around...curriculum design
Happy to share approaches, if of interest.
All the best
Annamarie

Subject: Sharing info about Intro. to L&T in HE courses
Hello
(Apologies for any cross-posting)
I'm investigating provision in the sector of introductory courses for academic staff on learning and teaching in HE / academic practice, and would welcome information from anyone willing to share about what your institution does.
I'm interested to know about courses, workshops or awards which are offered which are not full PGCertHE or PGCAP programmes (though might be comprised of parts of these), which can be taken as a stand-alone introduction or induction (perhaps for part-time, HPT staff and/or PGR).
My key questions are:
- who is this provision aimed at/offered to?
- what kind of time-commitment is there for participants?
- does it carry credits? (how many, what level?)
- does it lead to a recognised award, or an institutional award/certificate?
- is it HEA or SEDA accredited?
- is there progression from this into a PGCertHE / PGCAP?
I'll be happy to share the info. I collate in return.
thanks v much
Sally
