Very informative and eye opening. As long as you keep an open mind and fresh perspective, you will definitely learn a lot. In fact, it might even change a person's philosophy and teaching philosophy.

A comprehensive course let down by poor recording quality. It was obviously put together a long time ago, but most of the content holds up very well today. I am not a teacher, but I am a librarian, and I have learned a lot from Professor John MacBeath. This introductory course doesn't take very long to complete. I fully recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their knowledge of teaching and see how they feel about completing further courses. There are nine courses in the Foundations of Teaching for Learning set. To those complaining that there is no guidance on the course order, I agree that it is inconvenient not to have this information upfront, but you will receive an email along with your grade stating which the next course on the pathway is. (Being a Teacher is Part 2!)

The content in this course is a very good introduction to educational theory and practice.
There is just one aspect I philosophically disagree with, yet this is a pivotal point in education. The course assumes that Education is a way to change behaviour (as an external factor)
Yet I am more inclined to the philosophy of: Education is to lift man up from the animal state; and by this uplift man will change his own relationship with the world (internal factor).
The theory and practice given in this course are still valuable though, regardless of this difference in viewpoint.

Many great thought-provoking concepts of learning theory introduced here. The course is easy to follow, although the the quizzes sometimes contained questions that didn't seem connected to anything discussed in the videos - but I could have missed something, I suppose. I recommend listening at x1.25 speed because the professor has a very ponderous style of speaking.

This course gave me much to consider. They were many practices I want to try. The readings and videos led me to rethink the material I already developed for a secondary school course. The quizzes could have been more challenging. The essays were fun to write. First time I put those thoughts in words. Some of that goes into my portfolio.

The course was really useful. The only thing that I consider necessary to mention is that the criteria for peer-reviewing are a bit vague. Everyone apparently understand them slightly (and sometimes not so slightly) differently and it seems to create significant differences in the ways essays are written and graded by peers.
