Teaching English – British Council Introduction to Learning and Teaching in Higher Education Traditional views of education have shifted. Teachers now do far more facilitation of learning as opposed to simply seeing their role as transferring knowledge. We’re now seeing student focused and learner centred approaches being the norm - approaches that change the roles and responsibilities of teachers and learners. This course will introduce you to student-focused approaches and general principles of teaching and learning at a university level. Learn about the basic principles of teaching and learning in higher education In this course you will be introduced to well-known educational perspectives on how students approach learning. This course looks at questions like: How do students approach learning?

Understanding Classroom Interaction Course Syllabus Skip Syllabus DescriptionWeek One: Introduction to classroom interaction (What is it and why do it?) Introduction to previous classic research and reasons for studying classroom interaction. Designing and Leading Learning Systems Pursuing goals for ambitious teaching and learning requires that students, teachers, and educational leaders learn to work together in new ways. This course engages learners in exploring four leading logics of educational innovation: strategies and approaches to producing and using knowledge to improve educational practice and outcomes at scale, across many classrooms, schools, and systems. These logics include: Shell enterprisesDiffusion enterprisesIncubation enterprisesEvolutionary enterprises Each of these logics has been used successfully in different types of classrooms, schools, and systems, though each also features traps and pitfalls that complicate universal usage. To understand both their potential and their pitfalls, learners will apply these logics in analyzing exemplary cases of large-scale, practice-focused educational innovation in the US and abroad. With deeper understandings of these logics, learners will be able to be strategic in designing and managing local innovation.
