?As a part of our mandate to enhance the professionalisation of the teaching role at SU, the CTL currently offers five internal, SU-accredited short courses free of charge to SU staff and one peer-facilitation course to SU students.
The Assessment, Learning, and AI short course is a?newly revised short course that combines content from the previous?Assessment?short course and?the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Literacy in teaching-learning-assessment (TLA)?short course. It aims to create?opportunities to reimagine TLA in the age of AI. Participants will explore key concepts such as the diverse purposes of assessment, constructive alignment, feedback, peer and self-assessment, and the role of scholarly evidence in shaping effective practices.

The Scholarship of Educational Leadership (SoEL) short course focuses on both leadership in and scholarship of teaching-learning-assessment (TLA). The idea is that we grow a critical mass of TLA leaders at SU which is in line with the professionalization of the teaching role as described in the draft SU Teaching-Learning Policy (2023). The short course draws on two bodies of knowledge: Academic Leadership (AL) and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) and aims to bring conceptual frameworks from these two bodies of knowledge into dialogue with each other. These conceptual frameworks offer participants theoretical lenses through which to interrogate and reflect on their own practices as educational leaders. The SoEL short course takes a broad view of Educational Leadership practice and includes other supporting practices namely reflection, change management, innovation, and contextual awareness. Participants in the short course are one senior academic per faculty per cohort and participation is via nomination by the Vice Dean (T&L) of each faculty.
The objective of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) short course is to assist teaching academics to conceptualise and design a SoTL research study. Participants will learn how to refine their research questions, consult literature, use educational theory as a lens, design an appropriate methodology and to gather and interpret d?ata. Participants will be able to translate this into a clear and comprehensive draft ?proposal that adheres to Stellenbosch 肆客足球's ethical and institutional permission principles.
?The Peer-Facilitation of Learning short course is the only CTL short course aimed at students. It is an institutional standardised training short course that can be accessed by all peer facilitators who have been formally appointed by faculties across the university. This course may be used to supplement any training that already exists in faculties or may be used to formally train peer facilitators for faculties. This is a fully online training short course. The course is registered and approved as a co-curriculum offering at SU.
