Abstract

Teaching in any context requires careful thought and preparation, requiring staff to develop and/or refine their teaching materials. Sometimes this can mean drawing on content perhaps not taught for a semester, a year (or maybe more). But how often do we ask ourselves how much we really care about both our content and our learners’ needs? In Higher Education (HE), research-led teaching typically means that content is taught by subject specific experts who are extremely familiar with the complexities and minutiae of their field. As a subject expert, familiar and passionate about content, there is often a temptation to want to include far too much in the limited time available. Understanding, appreciating and adapting the amount and level of content so that learners are not overwhelmed but are challenged – and getting this balance right – is exactly what caring about content looks like.
