The learning-teaching course is a twist on the typical academic preparation-type courses in that this course looks at learning through the eyes of an educator – as you in the role of the instructor. As such, this course may be described as a process of "learning-to-teach-to-learn" where you will explore and practice the design and implementation of learning in a manner that encourages an understanding of instructional design and teaching practices. And, as a consequence, better understand one's own learning style and how to maximize learning success.

The goal of the learning-teaching course is to research and apply theories and practices known to promote academic success in learning and teaching with some emphasis on instructional presentation. In addition to assisting you to acquire and develop knowledge and strategies that enhance academic and personal development, the course is designed to broaden awareness to diversity in learning and individuals.

Particular focus will be placed on the effective instructional design, presentation and evaluation methods. The expectation is that one will apply principles from the course by developing and documenting methods that improve personal learning performance and by producing a technology-based presentation.
