The CTL Induction programme is offered in a blended format. Modules are offered in a combination of in-person and online opportunities that are either offered in real time (synchronous) or self-paced (asynchronous). A flexible approach is followed to accommodate the diverse needs of newly appointed academics irrespective of date of appointment. This will enable the programme to address the constant inflow of new academics and provide them with flexibility to complete the requirements of the induction programme and improve the turn-around time for completion and certification. The programme consists of five modules including: the NWU’s Learning Management System; Blended Learning; Academic Integrity for Teaching and Learning; Teaching, Learning and Assessment at NWU; and Best Practices in Teaching and Learning. The CTL Induction Programme must be completed by all newly-appointed permanent and fixed-term academics within their probation period.

 

The new CTL Induction Programme launching on 1 February 2024 will allow for more flexibility and will be offered on a just-in-time basis to newly appointed academics. A blended approach will be followed with some themes offered fully online through webinars and online courses, and other opportunities offered in person.
