Description

This course examines contemporary research on learning design and assessment in tertiary teaching, and explores learning and assessment design practices in order to enhance student learning outcomes.

This course examines contemporary research on learning designs and assessment in tertiary teaching, and explores current research and practices which enhance student success.

This course models co-design and design thinking approaches in its pedagogy to help you rethink how your course can move to more flexible delivery and provide more opportunities for students to learn from different locations.

We draw on experiences rich in both intention and inspiration through exposure to academic content and theory, participation in hands-on experiential activities, analysis of your existing course design through different lenses and co-develop innovative solutions to support diverse learners’ flexible learning. HEDN603 puts you in the driver's seat of being the designer of your own teaching.
