Engaged Learning and Teaching – Is It Worth The Effort?

CTIS (The Centre for Teaching Innovation and Scholarship) invites you to our first Curriculum Cooperative event on engaged learning and teaching.

Engaged learning and teaching offers students the chance to try out ideas by working with partners and practitioners outside the university class room.  It has benefits in demonstrating how learned skills apply in practical contexts but also involves costs from change and administration.

Five speakers from POLIS will speak briefly to the relevance of engagement, its delivery and the student experience. In doing so we will aim to share the benefits, challenges and practical issues involved in engaged teaching and learning in one school.

The one hour session will take place on TEAMS between 4-5pm on Thursday 26th November. The talks will be recorded and saved on the CTIS TEAM channel #9 for future viewing. Please feel free to upload comments and questions beforehand.
