Basic for teaching at universities (part 2)
A modern and contemporary way of teaching focuses on the processing of the content through the learners. Consequently, the role of the teacher changes from the old-fashioned lecturer to a moderator or facilitator who makes learning possible.. Thus, the style of teaching has to focus on the learner rather than on the teacher.
In this workshop, you will discuss different ways and approaches to interactive teaching. You will experience how to make learning in the classroom possible and keep the motivation of the learners on a high level. You will also plan and design a learning session and receive feedback on your ideas from your colleagues as well as from the moderator of the workshop.
