Participants in this interactive online workshop, sponsored by the Royal Historical Society and History UK, will develop their understanding of key issues relating to teaching History in higher education, from innovations in teaching and learning and curriculum design to teaching seminar groups and giving lectures. It will take place online, using Microsoft Teams.
The event is aimed both at those new to teaching History in higher education (i.e., about to begin or recently started), as well as those who may have experience with some elements of teaching but wish to develop their thoughts on other aspects (e.g., designing a module). Engaging in conversations with colleagues and critically reflecting on teaching practice is beneficial not only for individual teaching and career development, but also as part of applications and teaching recognition – for instance, for AdvanceHE Fellowships. We welcome applicants from beyond the UK, although elements of the event will be tailored specifically to UK HE contexts.
The workshop will be delivered by a group of experienced and innovative teachers of History in HE. Participants should be prepared to engage actively in the sessions, as the workshop will be structured around group discussions – such as responding to a set scenario, discussing an outline syllabus for a module you wish to propose, etc.
