Fundamentals of Teaching and Learning

Many faculty members in Higher Education Institutions do not get pre-service training in teaching and learning before they start teaching. This means that they have to learn the ‘the hard way’ on the job, and this often affects the quality of delivery. The Office of the Dean, Makerere University School of Public Health, in collaboration with the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, MakSPH and ResilientAfrica Network (RAN) and the Institute of Open and Distance Learning, College of Education and External Studies hereby announce the 2024 edition of the course titled: Fundamentals of Teaching and Learning. The  goal of the course is to enhance in-service Higher Education instructors and researchers' skills in the design and delivery of competency-based training in the health sciences.

Fundamentals of Instructional Design

This short course covers the basics of instructional design and how they are applied to the development of quality training programs and courses. Starting with the theoretical basis of teaching and learning, the course navigates key concepts in the design, development and delivery of quality courses both from a near and distance perspective. The course balances both theoretical presentations and practical sessions in equal measure, to give the participant hands on experience on how to use the different tools. The ultimate aim of the course is to build a critical mass of higher education tutors who can design high impact courses to improve delivery of teaching and learning. The course also looks at the state-of-the-art regarding teaching methodology, especially in the areas of high value learning objects and e-Learning.

Writing a Winning Grant Proposal to USAID: A Short Course

ResilientAfrica Network (RAN) through Research Technical Assistance Center (RTAC) has designed a short course on grants writing and management within the scope of USAID programs. Based on RTAC’s engagements with researchers worldwide, it is clear that despite having the content expertise, University-based researchers in LMICs often do not have specific experience in how development works. This course will describe USAID’s granting mechanisms and priorities. The course will cover different approaches to and process of searching for funding and reviewing requests for proposals (RFPs) from USAID, the grant application process, key considerations to proposal writing as well as the Dos and Don'ts in grant writing.
