Faculty communication on teaching and learning: Building a learning-centred college.

摘要

When faculty communicate about teaching and learning, they improve the learning experience of their students and build improved relationships with their colleagues. This research project will encourage faculty at Selkirk College to describe how they currently communicate with one another about teaching and learning. Faculty will consider how this communication can achieve a more learning-centred college and more effective means of communication and measures of success, as well as how to more effectively involve students.;Students, employers, and communities that faculty serve are asking for more from their educational institutions. As colleges cope with increased demands for delivery of services and increased stresses, they need to look for new ways to compete and survive. One way to distinguish is to deliver education that is learning-centred, placing the students and their needs at the forefront. This transformation will require faculty to collaborate, communicate, and change their abilities to teach and learn.
