Use complementary teaching approaches to deepen inquiry, participation and transfer into practice.
ACADEMIC PURPOSE · PRACTICAL CAPABILITY
Prepare with readings and guided explanations before a live session. Use tutor time for discussion, problem solving and feedback rather than repeating the preparation material.
Start with a complex question, identify what you need to learn, evaluate evidence and defend a response. The process develops both subject knowledge and habits of inquiry.
Create something meaningful, test it in context and reflect on the result. Connect experience to theory so that activity becomes learning rather than mere participation.
Discuss competing explanations and review peers’ work against clear criteria. Individual contributions and assessment responsibilities should remain visible.
Provide accessible formats, clear navigation and different ways to engage with ideas where feasible. Alternative methods must still allow the same learning outcome to be assessed.
AI can support explanation, practice and drafting where permitted. Verify outputs, protect personal data, acknowledge use and demonstrate your own reasoning. A tutor remains responsible for academic judgement.
