Tertiary Teaching Course
Aims
The broad aims are to:
- encourage participants to adopt a learning paradigm, rather than an instructive paradigm
- enhance participants' understanding of student-centred/focused learning
- introduce alignment as an effective approach to curriculum development
- encourage on-going reflective practice.
Description
The Tertiary Teaching Course (TTC) is a web-based program. It consists of three compulsory modules,
assessment activities, and discussion groups managed through Learning Management System (LMS).
Participants can work at their own pace during the semester and within the timeframes of the discussion
groups. The TTC focuses on three interrelated areas: learning, curriculum, and assessment, as well
as reflective and self-evaluating practices. The program has both theoretical and contextual components.
Completion of this course has become part of the probationary criteria for new academic appointments
and also highly regarded in applications for academic promotion. The School of Education grants the
Tertiary Teaching Course specific credit towards the Graduate Diploma in Education (Tertiary and
Adult).
Structure
Completion of all sections and assessment is required to meet the probationary criteria for new
academic appointments.
