Course description
We start from the Interactive Lecturing Model. Instead of simply “covering content” (the Transmission Lecturing Model), lecturers create conditions that empower students to take a greater responsibility for their own learning. Interactive lecturing is a combination of engaging presentations and active learning methods. In this course we focus on preparing and giving engaging presentations and we touch on the use of active learning methods.
Central in this training is practicing your lecture skills: you give short presentations and get feedback on your performance. Therefore we work in small groups (4 to 6 participants). The course is given in English.
Target group
Wageningen University staff who want to enhance their preparing and giving lectures. Lectures that promote meaningful learning in ways that students find engaging. This course is a very good starter for those new to teaching. This course is an elective course in the UTQ trajectory.
