The Education Development Unit (EDU) in the Faculty of Health Sciences at UCT is pleased to announce a short course on teaching, learning and assessment .
The short course is ideally suited for busy teaching and clinical staff who cannot leave their teaching and service commitments for long period but want to stay informed of trends in teaching, learning and assessment. That is why the mode of delivery is mostly online through UCT’s Vula system with one contact session. The course aims to prepare UCT educators of health sciences students to facilitate learning, through developing their knowledge base of educational principles as well as supporting the integration of the concepts learned in their professional role and context.
The course consists of two modules; module 1 focusses on evidence based teaching and module 2 centres on assessment of student learning. The first 2 sessions of module 1 is compulsory there after you may choose to sign up for the sessions that are most applicable to you.
Participants will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the course. To receive the certificate of completion participants need to demonstrate activity online within the week they have registered through accessing the weekly activities; the readings, power points, responding to questions online, communicating with peers, creating blogs when required and participation in the online discussion when scheduled.
