ALTA@LU (Approaches to Learning Teaching and Assessment)
Approaches to Learning Teaching and Assessment @Lingnan
CITAL will be launching its new professional development programme ALTA@LU (Approaches to Learning Teaching and Assessment @Lingnan). This programme has been created to meet the needs of Lingnan faculty members who are involved in course, programme and assessment design. ALTA@LU provides participants with an immersive experience of Problem-Based Learning, working in small groups to investigate real-world issues in curriculum design and to synthesise credible solutions together. Through the PBL process, participants will experience a collaborative, learner-centred methodology that is favoured in liberal arts education and will deepen their understanding of curriculum design.
The 26-hour programme over a period of 7 weeks has the following stages through which participants will be guided and supported:
- Group setting
- Problem identification
- Idea generation
- Learning issues
- Self-directed learning
- Synthesis and application
- Reflection and feedback
