About this workshop

We’re all familiar with the idea of the lecture -  the expert talks for some period of time, possibly punctuated with questions from brave students.  But is this really the best way to teach in higher education classrooms?

If you’d like to consider some alternative strategies then this is the session for you! In the workshop, we will link learning theories and pedagogic strategies, introducing a wider range of pedagogic activities than they might previously have tried out.

We’ll also link these to specific tools to support these teaching strategies, including specific tools in the UCT digital landscape and some from the digital “wilds”.
