Relevant Content

Curricula and resources developed for student learning will relate to the specifics of a subject and discipline but can also draw on wider good practice to reflect a command of the field.

This may include: developing and presenting coherent and imaginative resources for student learning; implementing research-led approaches to learning and teaching; demonstrating up-to-date knowledge of the field of study in the design of the curriculum and the creation of resources for learning; communicating clear objectives and expectations for student learning.

  • Video for Teaching

    Producing a video can be a daunting task, but Learning Environments have developed a VIDEO PRODUCTION MATRIX to help staff to select the best style of video production for a teaching / learning purpose.  The links to resource types are very helpful when starting to think about incorporating video in your teaching, and include some very useful Production Tips to help avoid rookie (or even semi-expert) mistakes.

    Using video in teaching and learning

    Professional Development workshops (see also Developing Your Teaching) offered by Learning Environments and the Melbourne Centre for the Study of Higher Education include DESIGNING FOR LEARNING WITH TECHNOLOGY.

Learning Environments may also be available to support development of online content for particular subjects - please contact BEL+T to discuss.

"(Tutor) developed an individual vision for the studio, and encouraged students to set their own research agendas - appreciating the different perspective of every student, and growing a spirit of radical exploration of ideas.    Then, provided additional resources, and gave specific technical support when required, although the best advice wsa for developing independent learning: develop a really specific question, and by the time you've formulated the question, you've probably figured out how you're going to answer it yourself."

"Thoughtful and current teaching methods that engaged students on a personal level as well as a collective level for larger engagement. Fostered a sense of belonging to a group (classroom) where we all aimed to better oirselves and our projects."
