Approaches to Learning Teaching and Assessment @Lingnan

TLC 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:

  1. Group setting
  2. Problem identification
  3. Idea generation
  4. Learning issues
  5. Self-directed learning
  6. Synthesis and application
  7. Reflection and feedback
