It's Not About Hard or Easy Courses | Faculty Focus - 0 views

  • Improving your instruction makes it easier for students to learn
  • what’s making the course hard
  • students may be finding the course hard because the instruction isn’t very good—not well organized, unclear explanations, content seemingly irrelevant, and poorly constructed test questions
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • students may find the course challenging because the content isn’t easy and the instructor has high standards.
  • ineffective instruction makes the students work harder,
  • support courses with rigor and standards
  • If students are convinced there’s no way they’re going to succeed in a course, the bulk of them stop trying, and that certainly effects what they learn in the course
  • What students need are
  • course experiences that result in lots of learning—where they master the material, further develop the sophisticated learning skills necessary for lifelong learning, and where the encounter leaves them breathless to learn more

Blended Learning is Better Learning | WPLMS - 0 views

  • Blended learning is a great approach to take for concepts that can’t be completely communicated in one sitting or seminar.  If this is the case, it is a good idea to break up the topic into different delivery structures.  For instance, you can create an “Intro” course to the topic as an e-Learning module.
  • save the higher level content for live training, therefore leaving you more time for questions.  It also allows participants to get exposure to the content before the actual event – thus decreasing the initial learning curve.  At the end of the online module, allow participants to submit their initial questions or concerns.  Again, this will enable you to customize the live training so that it addresses the major concerns of the group.
  •  As a general rule of thumb, these virtual events should not be over two hours long as that is a long time to sit on a call, and you’ll lose the attention of the audience.

  • The introductory e-Learning shapes your live training event.  You can get a sense of what areas you should focus on and where you might experience some push back.
  • record this webinar and to make it available for people who could not attend.  This makes a useful tool for future reference.
  • blended learning approach
  • maximize learning and reinforce the message to participants.
