This seminar is a critical discussion and reflection of my evolving personal pedagogy and its impact on teaching quality.
Specifically, I will discuss the following topics:
The importance of Basics; Personal Pedagogy, Teaching Philosophy, and Teaching Fundamentals.
Pedagogy and the construction of Learning Environments (Offline, Online and Blended)
Pedagogy and Course Evolution using the SIAM Process
Evolving Assessment Strategies for/of/as Learning (Enculturation and Transformation)
Managing High-Value (50%; 100%) Continual Assessment Modules
Assessment and Accommodation Strategies (Fairness, Collaboration, Literacy Development, Inclusion)
Lectures, Lessons and the Creation of Reusable Learning Objects (Laurillard’s “Teachers’ Constructed Environments”)
Encouraging and Supporting Reflective Practice and Writing
The impacts of the Toxic Ego, Digital Fatigue, and The Law of Diminishing Returns
I will also discuss the interrelationship between pedagogy evolution and technology supported learning environments. I will provide some practical insight into my use of technologies to support my pedagogy, and vice versa. This will include:
My Online Live Streaming and Lesson Recording Setup (YouTube; Engagement)
My Approaches to Supporting Learning, Collaboration and Assessment using Technology
Pedagogical Tools, Active Learning and Sense Making
Finally, I will talk about the introduction of Quality Teaching Framework Models and how I think these could enhance my teaching quality and that of the wider higher-education community.
This interactive seminar will be live-streamed via YouTube on Wednesday, 15th December 2021, 3:00PM – 4:00PM.
