Overview

Why else do we teach but for learning? Yet, there is often a disconnect between conventional, accepted teaching practices and research evidence about what enables learning. In this module, we will explore how we learn and what we can do to ensure learning environments are effective. As we extend our knowledge, we will consider strategies for designing significant learning experiences that are grounded in and informed by research principles that foster student learning in specific contexts.

Outcome

Design effective learning activities and experiences that are grounded in research-based principles of learning that promote students using their knowledge in meaningful ways.

Objectives

Reflect on core beliefs about teaching and learning and the ways they impact teaching practices and learning outcomes.
Examine teaching approaches and strategies that foster student learning in specific contexts.
Identify considerations when designing significant learning experiences grounded in and informed by research-based principles.
