Venue: University of Lausanne, room TBD

Instructor: Dr. Kostas Kampourakis, University of Geneva

This course is organized in collaboration with the CUSO Doctoral Programs in Ecology & Evolution,Microbial Sciences and StarOmics 

Objectives:

At the end of this course the students should be able to: 

Apply some basic principles of curriculum development; 

Define learning goals for their own teaching activities; 

Distinguish between learning goals and the teaching approaches used to attain them & Choose appropriate and relevant teaching experiences to attain the defined learning.

Goals:

Design teaching sequences that aim to attain the defined learning goals;

Design summative assessments that correspond to the defined learning goals (curriculum alignment) & Develop formative assessments that can be effectively integrated into teaching sequences.

Schedule:

SESSION 1: 9:00-12:00 Theory (interactive lecture) Setting learning goals: distinguishing between teaching and learning

SESSION 2: 13:00-16:00 Theory (interactive lecture) Selecting learning experiences that are likely to attain learning goals: teaching for learning vs teaching for teaching

SESSION 3: 9:00-12:00 Theory (interactive lecture) Effectively organizing learning experiences: combining different teaching methods and setting up a curriculum

SESSION 4: 13:00-16:00 Theory (interactive lecture) Designing assessments: formative vs summative assessment and curriculum alignment

SESSION 5: 9:00-12:00 Bringing it all together: designing teaching for learning Micro-teaching
