Details

In the face of the continuing effects of the global pandemic, university teaching staff need to be ready to start the new academic year on a socially distanced campus, teaching in both hybrid and online spaces.

Effective and engaging teaching in socially distanced campus and an online or blended environment requires an understanding of effective pedagogies for online and hybrid teaching. Even for those who are experienced teachers but inexperienced virtual or online teachers this can feel challenging.

Advance HE has designed New to Teaching, aimed at nurturing and developing contemporary professional learning, with a particular focus on the basics of effective teaching practice, incorporating latest innovations in online pedagogies and digital delivery within fully virtual or hybrid teaching spaces. The programme models approaches and activities which can be taken into HE teaching, positioning the participant as a learner in online spaces and inviting them to reflect critically on the experiences in order to enhance their own teaching practices.
