The Graduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education provides professional development opportunities to enhance your knowledge of theory, practice and skills in learning and teaching in higher education.
You will study effective approaches to teaching and learning support that contribute to high-quality learning, including quality learning design, teaching preparation and performance, assessment and feedback, and supportive learning environments. Learning and assessment tasks are authentic and you will apply your learning to enhance your own teaching practices.
This higher education degree addresses matters of particular relevance to learning and teaching at Charles Sturt University which include understanding and supporting the diverse student profile, online and flexible learning, and professional and practice-based education. You will be equipped to analyse and apply our values, policies, strategic initiatives and frameworks to your own teaching practices.
This teaching course is structured around the Higher Education Academy (HEA) UK Professional Standards Framework and The Charles Sturt Academic evidence, a guide for promotion in the learning domain. On successful completion of EEL516 for academic probation, you will have addressed the requirements for Associate Fellow of the HEA and developed a personal professional learning plan that will help you to prepare for promotion. Completion of the whole Graduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education addresses the requirements for HEA Fellowship.
This graduate certificate is fully online and has been designed for self-paced independent study and cohort-based participation. You will experience learning in the Charles Sturt online environment as a student, learn using a range of online resources and educational technologies, and have current educational practices and technologies demonstrated by experienced practitioners.
On completion of your Graduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education, you will possess a widely recognised qualification that will enhance your career and provide you with a scholarly language and knowledge for applying for teaching awards and promotion.
For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
You may need to attend an online or on-campus intensive school for certain subjects in this course. These schools usually involve lectures, tutorials and practicals that will give you a deeper understanding of your subject.
