Constructive Alignment in Practice at the International Faculty

"Constructive alignment is a principle used for devising teaching and learning activities, and assessment tasks, that directly address the intended learning outcomes (ILOs) in a way not typically achieved in traditional lectures, tutorial classes and examinations" (Biggs and Tang, 2011),

All of us who attended CiLT know that this was a major discussion in module 2. Having seen how we do alignment at the IF, the School of Education has requested a series of videos that present how we deal with constructive Alignment in practice.

Here they are:

Constructive Alignment: Part I: A Syllabus template (3')

Constructive Alignment: Part II: a Programme Level view of Graduate Attributes (4')

Constructive Alignment: Part III: Aligning ILOs to Level of Study (5')

Also, you might want to watch three more  short useful videos on related matters on the Learning & Teaching Development Resources page of the University.
