"The module has widened my knowledge of teaching strategies and relevant pedagogical approaches, as well as giving me insight into the changing world of academia especially during the Covid 19 pandemic and how we have had to adapt how we teach.
It has enabled me to become a more reflective teacher, using a variety of topics for my students to ensure they have the best learning experience.
I have always loved teaching and the ability to be able to inspire and create valuable learning experiences for future nurses and was keen to further my knowledge on how to do so in practice."
