The module provides an overview of key knowledge, skills values and behaviours required by the lecturer new to higher and professional education. As such, it covers key principles of teaching, learning, enhancing behaviour and promoting inclusion. This includes consideration of the context of the HE sector and how learner and employer needs can be identified and met.

During the Teaching and Learning in Higher and Professional Education module, you will develop your ability to:
(i) Use a variety of approaches to teaching and facilitating learning
(ii) Mitigate barriers to learning and promoting positive learning behaviour
(iii) Develop an inclusive and supportive learning environment

As well as online learning, you will be involved in the peer observation of teaching and will gain feedback on your own approaches. You will also engage in self-audits of your teaching to help you reflect on your developing skill-set and to plan for your continuing professional development.

This module will be delivered online through:
1. An induction and introduction to the course, including guidance on portfolio building.
2. Interactive content delivery sessions
3. Online learning weeks
4. Microteach sessions
5. Assignment workshops
6.Academic tutorial sessions (online via teams)
7. Flipped learning – engagement in key pre-session tasks

Additionally, as a part time course there is an expectation of considerable independent study. Participants are expected to consolidate and build upon their learning from the taught sessions by reading key texts and journal articles and undertaking follow-up tasks and work based self-assessments.
