With the campus redevelopment under way, an increasing number of rooms are being built or adapted to give you greater flexibility in your modes of teaching. This session gives an introduction to active learning and examines the concept of Glasgow's learning spaces, both physical and online. It introduces the resources generated through the MALT (Moodle Active Learning and Teaching) LTDF project, which demonstrate how active learning can be used creatively to facilitate face-to-face, blended, and online learning. These resources include material to support co-operative and collaborative approaches to teaching, learning, and also assessment - all underpinned by the values of active learning.
You should come if you want to: start thinking about how you might adapt your teaching to the developing range of spaces and technologies we have at Glasgow - even if you only ever teach in lecture theatres or traditional smaller classes.
Tea and coffee will be available.
Please note that these CPD workshops are only open to University of Glasgow staff (including Graduate Teaching Assistants / Demonstrators).
