The internet, and ability to quickly find information, has changed the emphasis on shallow learning]]> 2022-10-10 12:00:54 UTC https://padlet.com/e_corradini/fm3liqoaegw2/wish/2333447080 https://padlet.com/e_corradini/fm3liqoaegw2/wish/2334889249 "learning incomes" - what can students do already? how can we build on that?

what do students want to learn (or what do they think they want to learn)? how can we support this (or should we?)

I consider: Can a good learner be a good teacher? How to respect intellectual diversity?

2. When we design the learning process, it is important to consider not only what to teach (a piece of knowledge) but also how each individual learner reacts and experiences the whole learning process.

1) Be ready for the question "why?"
2) Be ready for the reaction "so what?"
3) Work out your answers to "what's in this for me?"

Align assessments with learning outcomes]]> 2022-10-12 11:56:02 UTC https://padlet.com/e_corradini/fm3liqoaegw2/wish/2336879042 Learning https://padlet.com/e_corradini/fm3liqoaegw2/wish/2336883637 I had a few important take-aways:
1. Make sure that any learning outcome is supported at the end of the course with some qualitative or quantitative assessment that allows you to determine how effectively the students progressed towards that learning outcome.
2. Test running the interpretation of the wording of learning outcomes is a great idea. Often, something makes perfect sense to me but no one else.
3. Including learning outcomes at the start and end of lectures. I think this really helps students to understand the purpose of specific lectures or activities towards the course's larger learning objectives. ]]> 2022-10-12 11:59:50 UTC https://padlet.com/e_corradini/fm3liqoaegw2/wish/2336883637 Strategic Learning https://padlet.com/e_corradini/fm3liqoaegw2/wish/2336896761 It is better to guide the students to be strategic learners. For example, some of the modules focus on the applications of the science where no deep learning is not really necessary, while the other part of modules focus on implications where solid background knowledge is important for the students to successfully keep up and meet the objective of the course. Henceforth, the teacher needs to design their teaching materials in such a way as to deliver the course based on what the students know and what they have to know before and during the course, respectively.]]> 2022-10-12 12:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/e_corradini/fm3liqoaegw2/wish/2336896761
