PEDAGOGIC THINKING

So it made me slow down. It made me think very
selectively about what I was doing…
I think that’s the biggest thing. More than content, it was about the methods
I used.

I now design in interactive activities for
students to do in lectures at regular intervals,
based on them doing things related to the learning outcomes.

I use online-based activities to support full-time students. I’ve
tried flipped classroom by posting tasks on the VLE and
letting students have access and time to reflect on their
contribution before lesson sessions.
