In this course, you will learn about important higher education principles in teaching and learning, hear from students and staff at the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology (FEIT) and reflect on your own teaching practice and preparation. We have designed this course to prepare you to make the most of your teaching, as well as support students in engineering and information technology to make the most of their learning.

About this course

Participate in this course through interpreting valuable information on each page and connect your learning with the tasks and activities using the tutor continuous reflection log. The information is both scholarly and applied in authentic learning environments.

By the end of the course you will be able to recognise your teaching ability and what steps to take to improve it by using feedback, plan and deliver tutorial sessions using teaching strategies to engage students actively in learning and demonstrate concern for student learning by recognising students and building relationships. You will also be able to provide clear explanations on assessment/coursework to stimulate students intellectually and be able to comment on student work in ways that help improve their learning and stay motivated.

Course structure

Tutoring in Higher Education is flexible and broad in nature. There are three modules arranged to provide you with the best opportunity to become a quality educator. 

Module 1 - Call to Action

  • This module gives you a student perspective on what matters to them: CARE.

Module 2 - Look in the Mirror

  • Cleverly titled to highlight the benefit of looking at yourself in view of improving yourself.

Module 3 - Sharpen Your Tools

  • This module is presented on tiles. Click on each tile to reveal strategies that you can use in class to plan and deliver lessons, provide a positive learning environment, engage students, set up active learning and provide feedback. These strategies can be downloaded as 'tool cards' and used in your tutorials.

Note - the course is supported by pedagogical literature. You will find a reference page at the end of module 2.

  • Engage students actively in learning
  • Demonstrate concern for student learning
