Foundations of Teaching and Learning

Designed for senior ETH teaching staff, this programme provides a foundation in teaching and learning in higher education and at ETH.

Course content

Participants use core teaching and learning concepts in higher education to analyse their teaching experience within and beyond their own disciplines. Throughout the course, they plan their own teaching based on these insights. Course facilitators and fellow participants support the practical implementation of these plans in their own teaching courses.

Is this course for me?

This programme is intended for Senior Scientists, Senior scientific staff, Senior Assistants, Postdocs and lecturers. Participants must be teaching a course (either during the programme itself or from the following semester onwards) where they have the opportunity to deploy what they have learned.
