My rationale for creating the course How to lecture in higher education
"I wanted to create an online course that offers a variety of tips that will help new university teachers become more effective lecturers. Lecturing is something that can be developed, like any other skill. So regardless if you are new to teaching or have worked for years as a university teacher and want to improve, or are just curious about what goes into preparing and delivering a successful presentation in higher education, then this course is for you. It will give you an inside look at how I work and I'll provide plenty of tricks tailored for beginners."
