NU643: Teaching e-Portfolio
Semester 1 and Semester 2 | Credits: 10
The aim of the teaching portfolio module is to provide documented evidence of the student’s teaching performance and development as an educator from a variety of sources and provide context for that evidence. The process of selecting and organising material for the portfolio can help one reflect on and improve one’s teaching. Portfolios can offer the students a look at their development over time, helping one see teaching as on on-going process of inquiry, experimentation, and reflection. The teaching portfolio will also encourage students to develop as self-directed, lifelong learners and therefore promotes deep reflection on their teaching performance.
(Language of instruction: English)
