Keeping lectures short and engaging to keep students involved. Speaking clearly but also being able to adapt to different learning styles for student success
Preparation is key to making your students successful.
This course help me understand the importance of bridging the curriculum to real life applications.
Does anyone know any interactive software related to situational business case studies?
This module helped me understand that course content should be connected to the learning objectives and the students’ future work. The instructor should not only decide what information to teach, but also choose the best way to present it.
I learned about different learning styles and ways to incorporate them into lectures.
Be adaptable. Be creative, competent and personable. Use a combination of teaching methods to cover all learning styles. Offer and receive feedback to judge what works. Always be prepared. Take notes to improve abilities. Take classes and seek advice from colleagues.
This module reinforced the importance of matching course delivery to the learning outcomes and giving students more than one way to engage with the material. I like to use a mix of brief lectures, visuals, discussion, case studies, demonstrations, and hands on practice so students can build both knowledge and practical skills.
I learned to shape lectures to implement different learning styles. Practice delivery by recording myself then review/journal my observations about how my lecture went; this can help me improve for the next time. I really appreciated the ideas for how to run the lecture, like the 10-15 chunks and especially the 3x5 cards for question bank. Demonstrating is equally important as well as the debriefing afterward.
A key takeaway was learning about the different styles of learning. Additionally, I learned that it is best to incorporate all the four major styles of learning within the classroom environment as much as possible in order to attempt to cater to students learning styles.
It is important to develop, plan, and update lesson plans with various learning styles to enhance student learning.
Know that students have different learning styles. And, understand the importance of utilizing different styles in your lesson to keep students engaged in the learning process.
In this lesson I learned that: "If there is rapport between you and your students, they will connect with the content you are sharing and their retention will be higher."
Prep Prep Prep!!!! The better prepared you are the better you will do. It is always better to over-prepare than under. However, you need to learn the balance of preparing. When you try to teach over-prepared one tends to run out of time and rush through demos and different portions of the lecture. If you under prepare you look as if you are trying to find your way through the fog. A mixture of the both may be the right place to be. Trust your gut but put together a good effort. Put the theories and demos that worked well right up front to get a good start at it. Expand off of those and even better ideas will come along. Time managment will also fit better as you find out what works and what doesn't. Theres always so much to learn from great acts and the ones that you kind of bomb.
keeping the students engaged is important to see that the are getting the information they need and are retaining that information and retrieving it for use on tests.
Adapt to your students learning methods.
The idea of this section is to keep the students engaged and see that they are getting the information they need to pass test questions. The overall score of the whole class will see if the instructor is getting the information out and the students understand what the instructor is saying and doing a good job.
Using a lecture with a demo is a good way to keep the students attention and it allows them to put it together.
Different lecture styles may offer a variety of perspectives with the students. Combining the different styles of lectures can create a more interactive environment for the students.
