Foundations of Teaching for Learning: Introduction

The Foundations of Teaching for Learning program is designed for anyone who teaches, or aspires to teach, in any subject and context, whether at school, at home, or in the workplace.

Education is in a state of flux: transitioning from traditional architectures and practices to new ecologies of teaching and learning influenced by the tremendous social and technological changes of our time.

This course, Fundamentals of Instructional Design, introduces students to the conceptual and theoretical foundations of instructional design, as well as the analytical aspects of instructional systems design, to create innovative instructional solutions to organizational performance problems.

University Teaching is an introductory course to teaching and learning in tertiary education, designed by staff from the Centre for the Improvement of Teaching and Learning at the University of Hong Kong.

Recommended Courses for Learning Experience Design

Learning Experience Design: Orientation to the Profession

In Orientation to the Profession, you’ll be introduced to the “big ideas” of LXD. Begin with the essential aspects of the design process, from ideation to evaluation. During this section, you’ll also take a brief look at learning theories and design frameworks that help LXDs move from an initial concept to a completed course.

In Theories and Frameworks, you’ll take a close look at learners and learning contexts. As you define your target audience, you’ll learn how to use learner personas as a communication tool with stakeholders and how these can be used to influence learning goals, assessments, and activities.

Development and Evaluation allows you to build on your knowledge of how people learn and use your understanding of learning design frameworks to bring your own learning designs to life! As you conceptualize assessment as a communication tool, you’ll consider the role of diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments.

This course provides an overview of best practices for creating effective training within your organization. You will learn different methods for identifying training needs and delivering training. You will also learn how to evaluate the effectiveness of training programs.
