Virtual Classroom

Some of the common forms of teaching and learning activities used in most of the US and UK universities are : The Lecture The Seminars The Tutorials The Practicals

E-learning This may include the provision of on-line self-testing quizzes that students are encouraged to use in their own time or computer simulations which groups of students interact with over several weeks in seminars or practical classes. Project and dissertation work Students are provided with learning materials (in hard copy or on-line) which direct and structure episodes of study. These may include tasks, solving problems, carrying out exercises and self testing understanding. Students can be asked to do this individually or in small groups and to some extent, can work at their own pace. Resource-based and Self guided study Problem-based learning (PBL) A specialised form of small group work, PBL requires students to work through a series of specially crafted problems with the support of a facilitator. Cycles of PBL usually  run over two weeks and involve three seminar styled meetings with the facilitator. In between the meetings the students are expected to address the questions and learning outcomes that have been identified during discussion at a meeting in order to be  able to report back at the following session.

Fieldwork This may involve organised trips to nature reserves, art galleries. industrial sites etc depending on your course that could last a few hours or a several days. Students are usually given specific learning tasks to accomplish before, during and after the visit which may be assessed.
