Preparation for teaching

Description

The webinar Preparing for Teaching is designed for new lecturers at the University of Iceland, focusing on course planning and design with a student-centered approach. It presents the course syllabus as a roadmap, quality document, and agreement with students, offering guidance on creating clear and measurable learning outcomes, aligning assessment with objectives, and developing realistic workload expectations. The session explores how generative AI can be used as a collaborative partner in idea generation, course structure, and drafting, emphasizing the teacher’s role as editor. It also demonstrates how to set up an accessible and well-organized course in Canvas, with consistent weekly formats, clear deadlines, detailed assignment descriptions, and an integrated calendar. The workshop aims to equip teachers to create clear, predictable, and purposeful learning environments that foster active engagement and improved student achievement.
