Micro PD – Deakin’s Learning and Teaching Principles- Sessions offered in August
August sees the return of the Pod’s popular MicroPD, this time with a special focus on Deakin’s Premium Learning and Teaching Principles.
Deakin has a set of ten Premium Teaching and Learning Principles that are intended to underpin the design, development and delivery of courses and units at Deakin University. These principles have been employed by Deakin in the context of large-scale projects to re-design courses across the different Faculties, including the Faculty of Arts and Education
The next set of Micro PDs will be grounded in the first 4 principles– Inclusive, Active, Social and Feedback-focused learning. Sessions are designed to be conversational in tone and targeted to the needs of participants. Drop in for just-in-time support to improve the online experience for both your students and yourselves.
