As an Instructor of science courses having a plan B is so important as students who develop phobia to science is always challenging. Diving the class and using a pretest is always a great idea. I am open to any other suggestions.

I found the information on this are to be very informative. It certainly has reinforced my need as an instructor to use a multi-sensory approach during my sessions with my students. I will treasure the quote "Eliminate the tedium and Vary the medium"

I think the topics covered were very appropriate in providing guidance and advice on becoming an Instructional Delivery Expert. It is indeed important to assess yourself and ensure that your are indeed the best personality fit for the job of being an instructor. Being prepared is key as we are role models for our students. It is also of paramount important to see the process from the students eyes at all times and develop a mindset to accept change.

Guest speakers can add value and excitement to the course is absolutely correct. i tried it and its works

very well said about factual,conceptual and procedural knowledge. first time i learned it

According to my opinion Time managment is very important to keep student an engaged.

Have a computer connected to the internet for quick reference of short videos on youtube.com or lynda.com always seem to re-energize a class. Looking at websites that are closely related to the industry also gives student great ideas on what to search and look for to better understand the profession being taught.

I always find it challenging to address students of various ages. My classes have students from 17 - 65 all mixed together. If a student is younger, they are more interested in technological workflows. They prefer social media, computer software or websites like Moodle for class instruction, while the older students want a book, page number and a handout covering discussed topics. Furthermore, during lecture younger students are always engaged when I can bring popular music, movies, etc into discussion...but this is not well received by the older students who seem to enjoy a more straightforward teaching style. Im in my early 30s so I'm caught right in the middle. lol Any thoughts on how to bridge the generation gaps?

How do you motivate the student with every excuse in book about homework and attendance? Ive tried to motivate them with my personal story, Ive tried to motivate them with the light at the end of the tunnel story (graduation). What has worked for your most objective student.

It is so important to have extra information when there is extra time. Taking advantage of all time alloted is important even if it is down time to reflect on information received.

We hold meetings every 6 weeks to verify that the syllabus goals and learning objectives, daily lesson plans etc. are all in alignment.

I find students often don't realize the every day impact of utilizing technology, and or basic computer knowledge as it applies to their field. (we are a culinary school). Getting them to see the application by using every day sales reports, revenue statements etc. and how they are generated really helps.

Technology is very important with this generation and this day and time. The students in my classes use their computers to tape and also to monitor the lesson as I lecture. They are able to take notes on the power points as well. I love technology:)

Very Important! This is how you maintain continuity with all of your courses each Term.

Learning styles especially for our adult learners is very important. Alot of them don't know their learning styles due to being out of school for so long. So, we do a little test at the beginning of my course that outlines some pertinent information that assists them with knowing what type of learner they are. It assists with the success of the class.

Do you believe the 21st century learners are different than learners in the past?

What are some differences between traditional learning and adaptive learning?

How do you think you would use adaptive learning in your course?

How do you think adaptive learning will change teaching and learning?

Describe any ways you or your institution have implemented adaptive learning or how you would like to implement adaptive learning.
