Module 3: Teaching context and learning design

Welcome to Module 3: if you have completed working through Module 2 and are well under way with the portfolio activities, congratulations!

This module deals with three main topics:

1. Educational design


Educational design can refer to the planning and development of courses as well as of smaller chunks of learning such as a classroom session or an online learning activity.

In this topic we introduce two tertiary teachers, Emilia and Brett, and use them to illustrate some of the key principles of educational design:



2. Quality assurance


Quality assurance is crucial to the success of any educational organisation. But what does this term mean and how should we go about it?

In this topic we'll look at some of the main approaches to quality assurance and what they mean for us as tertiary teachers.

3. Reflective practice


Reflective practice can be a complex topic, but it has the potential to transform our teaching practice for the better.

In this topic we'll consider what we mean by reflection and reflective practice, and consider some key tools and approaches to making it happen.
