Effective Teaching of Science and Engineering in Higher Education

This is an online self-study programme that aims to give you the skills to confidently change a course you are teaching or designing in a way that is likely to improve student motivation and achievement.

Only the first section is currently available but they will be linked here as they are created.

Context & Prerequisites

This course assumes you are responsible for designing or delivering a course to a group of students in a STEM subject (science, technology, engineering, maths) in higher education and that the outcome of the course is not enquiry/project skills (e.g. a dissertation) or how to do a physical task (e.g. use of lab equipment).

It does not assume any particular skill or knowledge of teaching. It applies to both online and face-to-face teaching or a mix of the two.
