Graduate Diploma of Advanced Practice (Healthcare Education)

Training and Development

Human Resource Development

This subject considers the knowledge and skills required to facilitate engaging learning experiences within applied learning settings. In the unit, you will examine the theoretical underpinnings of learner and teacher engagement in a range of contexts, including face-to-face and online, and develop and evaluate techniques aimed at increasing levels of engagement. Through practical assessment tasks, you will develop your facilitation skills and explore ways to increase participation of learners. In this subject, you will consider how educators can foster an environment where learners become increasingly responsible and self-directed in their own applied learning setting.This subject suits individuals with some experience in working with learners (e.g. practicing teachers, trainers, classroom aides, or industry people who have worked with apprentices) who are interested in exploring issues of student disengagement, drawing on theories of how and why students might be engaged and then trialing new facilitation approaches that target student engagement.Note: The third assessment task requires facilitation of a session with a class or small group of learners, so you will need to have access to a group to do this.

Facilitating Engaging Learning Experiences

In this subject, you will explore the main adult learning theories and how they can inform your teaching and learning in healthcare settings. You will evaluate the effectiveness of various instructional methods, tools and technology for diverse healthcare contexts and audiences. You also will have the opportunity to analyse the principles and strategies for evaluating teaching and examine best practices for providing feedback on teaching and learning.
