“Learning science and educational research has contributed to a huge body of knowledge into how we can make teaching (and therefore learning) more effective for our students. However, for faculty members within disciplines, this can often seem an impenetrably dense body of literature, and opportunities for improvements in course design and delivery are lost. This talk will use an interactive and participatory format to highlight some of the main findings from learning research literature in an accessible way. There will be time to start discussions to imagine how the implications of this research can be used to inform the design and delivery of participant’s own courses. A goal for the session will be for participants to feel they have concrete strategies to take back to their Departments to change their approaches to course delivery. The session is relevant for faculty members teaching courses, as well as those in a variety of learning support roles across the institution. Participants will be able to engage in a mock learning quiz using their phones, tablets or laptops.”
