The CITL training and workshops are designed for the continuous improvement of teaching and learning experiences at RTC. This semester, the CITL offers two programme categories:
- Open training and workshops, suitable for new and experienced tutors, and
- Programmes exclusively designed for new tutors. This is a mandatory programme for new tutors - designed to enhance the teaching capacity of those with minimal or no prior experience in Higher Education.
Interested tutors can voluntarily sign up for the programmes.
Most sessions will take place on working Saturdays [the last Saturday of the month]. The training duration varies, ranging from 3 - 6 contact hours per programme, accompanied by 1-2 hours of follow-up meetings. The hands-on approach ensures practical learning experiences, and each training session concludes with a feedback and reflection session as a part of the post-training follow-up.
Earn 3-6 credit points per session based on the duration. A full-day [6 hrs] workshop is worth 6 credit points, and a half-day [3 hrs] workshop is worth 3 credit points.
