This was hugely beneficial. To have the opportunity to get feedback on my delivery was nerve wrecking to say the least, but it was a great way of knowing what I was doing well and what I could do better. It is a key part of self-development, and as lecturers we don't have the answers to everything, we too are engaged in a process of learning.
I've learned about the following:
a) Ways to engage learners in deep-learning and the importance of deep learning, as opposed to surface leanring
b) Importance of demanding student engagement and active participation in lectures and seminars (teaching is not and should not be about presenting information, students are active constructive political actors and not passive consumers of knowledge)
c) Importance of good logical planning which ensures constructive alignment between leanring activities, outcomes and assessment (this isn't about setting up performativity of student, certainly ot everything in HE is or should be assessment driven!)
