Online Short Course in Learning, Teaching and Assessment In-Person

The Online Short Course is intended to support doctoral students who are interested in preparing to teach at Middlesex University, and has been designed to accommodate participants either new to teaching or with prior teaching experience. In certain circumstances Middlesex Graduate Academic Assistant colleagues can also be welcomed onto the course subject to Line Manager approval.

This version of the course has been developed to provide a continuity of opportunity despite current social distancing restrictions and will run in this format throughout the 2020-21 academic year.

Conditions for participation (attendance commitments)

The course is delivered over a two-week period. A major benefit of studying online is the opportunity for participants to manage their own study time, and the course has been developed to optimise this. You will be expected to attend three live, hour-long virtual meeting room sessions distributed across the 11-day span of the course, and these sessions will alternate with self-paced study opportunities to provide a variety of engagement experiences. This run of the course will start with a live 60-minute online session on Tuesday 18th May and subsequent live 1-hour sessions will take place on Monday 24th May and Friday 28th May. In recognition of the need to accommodate attendee scheduling commitments exact start times of these live sessions will be decided through consultation with registered participants nearer to the start date of the course and will occur at some point between 10:00 - 16:00 GMT.

Prerequisites of the course

Participants must have:

  • Access to a computer and a robust internet connection for the duration of the course to enable full participation in live meeting room sessions and distributed learning activities
  • Ability to attend all of the live meeting room sessions occurring during the course.
  • Ability to devote a minimum of two hours to study and learning activities for each of the five learning topics distributed across the course duration.
