Preface | Teaching in a Digital Age Overheard in a coffee shop near campus: ‘Hey, Frank, you don’t look too happy’ ‘Yeah, I’m mad as hell. Our Dean called a meeting yesterday of all faculty to discuss the university’s new academic plan, and what it means for all the academic departments in the Faculty. I knew there had been meetings earlier in the year, a few of which I’d attended, but it seemed to be the same old waffle about building a university fit for a new age, and revolutionizing the way we teach. But as soon as the dean started yesterday, I sensed trouble. But then the real kicker, when I knew things were going to be difficult. But when I really started to panic is when he said we would all have to start taking courses on how to teach. If any of that rings a bell, this is the book for you. Why this book? In the book, I identify: Although the book contains many practical examples, it is more than a cookbook on how to teach. In the end, though, the book isn’t really about you. To come: Different ways to use the book:

Project Blog 20+ UK Twitter Users Educators Should Follow Curating your Twitter feed is an interesting task. Sometimes you know exactly what you want to get out of the people whose Tweets you’re spending your time reading. Finding new people to follow on Twitter can range from being fun to being a total pain in the neck. Personally, I tend to look for people who seem interesting, follow them, and give them a ‘trial run’ of sorts, to see if I like what I see. 20 UK Twitter Users Educators Should Follow BBC Education: Set up by @mario, supported by SchoolDuggery: Keeping an independent and occasionally caustic eye on schools and education.

Using Biggs' Model of Constructive Alignment in Curriculum Design/Introduction - UCD - CTAG The main theoretical underpinning of the outcomes-based curriculum is provided by Biggs (2003). He calls the model constructive alignment which he defines as: …coherence between assessment, teaching strategies and intended learning outcomes in an educational programme. As currently articulated, the model is attributed to Biggs (2003, 1999) but the essentials were formulated by Tyler (1949) some 50 years earlier - and elaborated in the 1980s by Shuell (1986). Figure 1: A Basic Model of an Aligned Curriculum. Figure 2: An Example of Constructive Alignment in a Curriculum (Further examples are given in Appendix 1) Biggs actually suggests that teaching and learning activities are designed second and the assessment regime third (page 30). Appropriate verbs can be discovered or derived by relating the model to a learning taxonomy. Figure 3: Adapting the Model to Allow for Differential Levels of Achievement.
