CITL Training and Workshops

The CITL training and workshops are designed for continuous professional development at RTC.

The CITL provides two training categories:

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

Interested faculty can 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. 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.

Enhancing Learning Through Constructive Alignment (CA) [3 hours]

Constructive Alignment is based on the principle that students construct their own learning through carefully designed and relevant learning activities. As educators, it is essential to create a learning environment that supports these activities to achieve the intended learning outcomes. This workshop will train educators to systematically align learning outcomes, teaching and learning activities, and assessments, ensuring that the intended outcomes are achieved. By doing so, the workshop will help educators foster deeper, more meaningful student engagement, with assessments and activities directly measuring and reinforcing the desired learning outcomes.

Academic Footprint Quality Matters [6 hours]

Research and publication in higher education are vital for advancing knowledge and driving innovation. The current 'publish or perish' culture in higher education has not only impacted the quality of research but also pushed educators to publish in predatory journals. This workshop is intended to help faculty members to identify and distinguish between reputable and predatory journals while also helping them to publish high-quality research in the right journals. It is also intended to promote the robust research culture at RTC.
