Case 01

APU Pre-FD Workshop Series

A sequenced introduction to university teaching for graduate students preparing for future instructional, facilitation, or academic roles.

Context
Graduate students bring deep subject knowledge but may have had little opportunity to make teaching decisions explicit or test them with peers.
Design response
Short research-informed inputs, guided worksheets, peer review, facilitation rehearsal, and exit-ticket reflection organised around a real class idea.
Participant artifact
A one-page class outline and one aligned learning activity with outcomes, instructions, timing, and support for participation.

A working trace

A workshop should leave a visible mark.

This original APU Pre-FD poster represents the kind of practical learning design behind the formats on this page: a real audience, a clear sequence, and a result participants can carry back into their teaching.

I design posters, slides, and teaching materials myself, using Adobe and other creative tools alongside the learning design. The visual work is not an afterthought: it helps participants see what a session is for, how it will unfold, and why it is worth entering. Keeping that creative craft inside my teaching practice is part of making learning feel clear, considered, and inviting.
