Finding the new normal seems like a monumental task and for every person that will mean something different. Lecturers will have to find ways to teach in this dauntingly fast changing ‘new normal’ which will take a lot of ingenuity and a mind shift from students to become more accountable for their own tuition.
In light of these challenges we would like to share the following FREE resources with you.
Epigeum’s exceptional range of online courses, which are created through the collaboration of leading universities and usually shared by subscription – ensuring that innovative, high-quality, and peer-reviewed courses are affordable for all.
We are making three of our online training programmes – Teaching Online, Blended Learning and University Teaching: Core Skills (Planning and Preparing Learning Activities and, Addressing Barriers to Student Success) FREELY available. Anyone tackling an unexpected or abrupt transition to digital course delivery is welcome to make use of them.
Teaching Online presents the fundamental principles of online pedagogy, guiding users through the “nuts and bolts” of designing, delivering, and evaluating online courses for the first time. It also includes a stand-alone course to support students in making the most of their online learning experience.
Blended Learning explores the strategic and practical implications of integrating face-to-face and online methods in teaching and learning, covering a range of models and approaches, and including advice on fostering a blended learning culture.
University Teaching: Core Skills, Planning and Preparing Learning Activities instructs those who are new to teaching on designing, structuring, and sequencing learning, with practical strategies for facilitating active learning in online and blended environments
University Teaching: Core Skills, Addressing Barriers to Student Success provides guidance on developing an inclusive and supportive learning environment, including advice on navigating stressful periods, and delivering online well-being support
