Teaching of large cohort sizes is becoming more and more prominent at Universities. Many colleagues will have experienced this and also faced the challenges which come with teaching large class sizes especially in STEM subjects.
The aim of this session is to introduce you to real-life tips and tricks to improve teaching and learning in large class sizes of STEM subjects – often using very creative approaches.
You will
• Get further insight about our research on student perception of large class teaching especially in increasingly diverse cohorts
• Be introduced to our “Large Class Education Toolkit” – a very practical guide containing from around 40 real-life case studies from colleagues in STEM or related subjects.
The “Large Class Education Toolkit” was developed at the University of Reading and was published in July 2017. So far it has been highly successful being used at Teaching and Learning away days and presented at international conferences.
