I teach, and have taught, a broad spectrum of subjects for about 25 years. I'm more interested these days in 'how' I teach rather than 'what'; and that's why I published an e-book on lecturing using multimedia methods.
That project began when I started asking myself what my teaching felt like for those I taught, and that in turn came from realizing that peacebuilding (the subject of my PhD) doesn't build peace unless it is informed by the needs of the people in whose name it is being built. As part of the biggest peacekeeping operation in history in the early '90s, I saw peacebuilding bypass millions of Cambodians it was meant to benefit. That experience helped shape me; my teaching has to demonstrably improve the lives of those I teach
Being on the receiving end of others' lectures at academic conferences and realizing they were like my own undergraduate presentations made me want to change, to think about what engagement meant when it was applied to one of the most common pedagogy formats in Higher Education - the large group lecture. My latest ebook charts that journey, develops the theory, manifests the method, evaluates the practice and discusses how we can quite easily change our lectures for the better, whatever our discipline.lihat lebih sedikit
