Learners bring diverse backgrounds and approaches to learning to tertiary study. This subject explores a range of approaches for improving student learning outcomes such as adult learning, problem-based learning and experiential learning. A focus is on student-centered learning, flexible delivery strategies and alignment with particular institutional polices, such as graduate qualities and internationalisation. This subject will also examine closer alliance of discipline-specific and generic research on tertiary teaching. It positions tertiary teachers as learners with the intention of improving student learning through cycles of critical reflection.

Learning Outcomes

• to facilitate and enable participants to trial a range of teaching and learning approaches within a context of commitment to quality learning experiences and outcomes for learners in tertiary education settings;
• examine teaching and student learning by evaluating ways in which both disciplinary research and research on teaching can align to enhance teaching and student learning;
• develop practices to gather information, reflect on and reconstruct teaching within their own teaching contexts.
