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.
