This series is to engage faculty and instructors in some of the most important issues in university teaching and guide them towards reflecting how they can apply that knowledge to their own teaching. Modules will be available through Canvas as online videos of about 30 minutes each with supporting materials. A degree of interactivity for each module would be achieved through the posing of question prompts in the supporting materials which will be linked to particular points in the video. Participants may base their written reflections on those prompts as part of a larger teaching portfolio.

Modules in the series include these topics:

     Module I - Course Design
     Module II - Lecturing
     Module III - Facilitating Discussion
     Module IV - Assignments and Assessment
     Module V - Diversity and Inclusion
     Module VI - Reflective Teaching and Teaching Portfolios

Outcome based teaching and learning is a student-centered approach to learning. The approach is about expressing learning outcomes from the students’ point of view, organizing our teaching around those student outcomes, and then creating assessment which will provide evidence to show the extent to which an individual student has achieved those outcomes.

The three modules in this series provide faculty and teaching staff with basic details on the outcome based teaching and learning approach at CityU. Modules are available through Canvas with online videos of about 10-12 minutes each with some supporting materials.

Faculty and teaching staff who register for a module will be requested to take a short quiz before they start the module and to do so again at the end of the module. Faculty and teaching staff who complete all three modules and complete a short written reflection are then eligible for an in-house staff development credit. Participants planning to complete all three modules are recommended to take the modules in sequence.

Modules in the series include:

     Module I - Intended Learning Outcomes
     Module II - Teaching and Learning Activities
     Module III - Assessment Tasks

Innovative Teaching Techniques shows faculty and instructional staff several innovative, simple-to-plan and simple-to-implement techniques for boosting student learning. The five techniques can be used in your lecture or tutorial to increase student attention while promoting deep learning. Besides the techniques presented in the first five modules in the series, a sixth module introduces you to Action Research so that you can create, implement, and assess your own innovative teaching techniques.

Modules are available through Canvas with online videos of about 6-8 minutes each and with some supporting materials. Faculty and instructors who register for a module will be asked to take a short quiz before they start a module and to do so again to complete the module.

Modules in the series include:

     Module I - Introduction and the Classification Table Technique
     Module II - One-Sentence Synopsis
     Module III - Recognizing the Problem
     Module IV - Identifying the Principle
     Module V - Conducting Opinion, Values and Attitudes Surveys
     Module VI - Introduction to Action Research
