CITL Training and Workshops

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:

  • Training/workshops, suitable for both new and experienced faculty
  • Programmes exclusively designed for new tutors. This is a mandatory programme for new tutors - designed to help develop the teaching capacity of those with minimal or no prior teaching experience in higher education.

Interested faculty can voluntarily sign up for the programmes.

Most sessions will take place on working Saturdays [the last Saturday of the month]. The training duration will range from 3 to 6 contact hours and 1 to 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 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.

Leveraging the Four Immeasurables to Enhance Student Learning Experience and Outcome [5 hours]

In an educational setting, integrating the four immeasurables - Loving-Kindness, Compassion, Sympathetic Joy, and Equanimity - can lead to improved student engagement, emotional intelligence, and overall learning outcomes. The objectives of this workshop are to understand the four immeasurable qualities, identify ways to incorporate these qualities into teaching practices, and develop actionable strategies to promote an inclusive classroom environment.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand and explain the significance of the four measurables in an educational context
  • Apply and implement strategies that promote a supportive classroom culture
  • Promote sympathetic joy

Bloom's Taxonomy and Test Blueprint [6 hours]

This workshop is designed to support faculty in aligning their teaching and assessment practices with clearly defined learning outcomes. The session will explore a range of student learning outcomes - from knowledge recall to higher-order thinking skills. Participants will create test blueprints that help ensure assessments are effectively aligned with intended learning outcomes. Given the institutional requirement for RTC faculty to integrate these practices into their instructional design, this session offers both theoretical grounding and practical application.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Construct a wide range of student learning outcomes using Bloom's Taxonomy
  • Develop a test blueprint for mid-semester exams that aligns with the intended learning outcomes

Learning Outcomes:

  • Identify key components of student-centered teaching that foster trust and engagement
  • Apply strategies to build positive and supportive relationships with students
