Examples of Innovation in Teaching & Learning

• As a Degree Project Coordinator at the Department of Computer Science, University of Reading, (2019-2021), I introduced
  • project-based supervisor allocation scheme
  • a new assessment marking rubric
  • professional skills training sessions for student support on (time management, research methods, research writing, project managment) and presentations)
  • introduced a departmental report template and writing guide
    
• At the Department of Computer Science, University of Reading, 2021, I introduced a formal scheme for cooperation with industries on final year projects.
• As a Programming in Java Module Convener (Department of Computer Science, University of Reading, 2021), I designed computer games assessemnt strategy.

Life Cycle of Teaching a Course

I think of Teaching as a learning system where a feedback loop is paramount in perfecting and stabilizing the system. I sketched this thought in the following image.
