Feedback and Feedforward
Learning Design: Feedback and Feedforward I’ve been teaching a class about Assessment and Evaluation as part of the Graduate Certificate in Learning Design at the moment.

They are the balance between theory and practice, the shift to online and blended learning, and the need to be close to…
CMALT: Exploring learning, teaching and assessment
Understanding of teaching, learning and/ or assessment processes In 2020-2021, I am developing a new course: the Graduate Certificate of Learning Design at UTS, which is made up of eight subjects.
