Target Audience: All staff who teach and/or support learning

This is an online workshop.

Time on task is the total learning time spent by a student actively involved in the learning process for a given module or programme, including timetabled learning opportunities such as lectures, labs and tutorials, as well as time spent studying and completing assignments (e.g., reading, research, writing, individual and group projects). Often students spend more time working independently or in groups than they do in formal learning spaces directly facilitated or delivered by teaching staff .  

This workshop will explore some of the strategies that teachers and/or those who support learning can adopt to maximise the effectiveness of students’ independent study. These will include setting expectations, supporting learner literacy, designing effective multimodal learning opportunities, and providing guidance to students.  

This will be an active learning opportunity, so please come ready to discuss your own challenges and experiences, and learn from others
