What is block teaching?
Remember when you were at university, or studied at school? You would have learnt studying multiple subjects at any one time. In University, this usually is around three or four per semester.
Block teaching flips that on the head and offers students the chance to study one module at a time consecutively.
I've written about this lots: from building blocks for a stronger student community here and implementing new quality mechanisms to serve the purpose here .
A group of incredible academics who champion block teaching have a network International Block and Intensive Learning and Teaching Association.
We formed a Collaborative Project with the QAA last year to work further on this, bringing together people from across the world and the results for this can be found here
Of course, I have played around to reach lots of different people in different ways on the highs and lows of block teaching and with the QAA support, I have produced a series of podcasts.
For anyone looking at or intrigued by block, these will give you a good oversight.
Take a listen, and do get in touch with any other questions. Happy to chat!
