This subject aims to provide a broad introduction to learning and teaching in tertiary education in contemporary society. It explores national and international contexts; critically analyses theories, concepts and practices (including flexible learning) of tertiary teaching; and, the application of these to the participants' own teaching. Material covered includes models of teaching and learning, assessment of student learning, subject design and evaluation, effective teaching of small and large groups in face-to-face and flexible learning environments, and critically reflective practices. (Students enrolled in ED5300 who have completed the two-day teaching induction program and follow-up tasks, are not required to attend face-to-face components of ED5300, and are exempt from the 10% assessment item on-line participation. Assessment grade for ED5300 for such students will be by negotiation with the subject coordinator for completion of the literature review and the negotiated learning portfolio.)
