Teaching and learning and inclusive educational design
Learning objectives are a key tool for conveying what students will learn.
- Are the learning objectives of each lecture or tutorial made explicit to students?
- Have learning objectives been prioritised so that important topics have more focus placed on them?
- Is there a progression in the complexity of learning tasks over the duration of the course? For example, tasks that require students to describe or summarise and tasks that ask students to critique or evaluate.
All learners benefit from information being presented in a range of modalities. Some modalities will suit particular material, but in most cases any material can plausibly be taught in multiple modalities, and this is generally a good thing to do
