Utilizing multiple teaching methods and breaking up monotoy supports learning.
I got a simple method for how to create a lesson plan. Also got how to apply the concept of the 15-18 min attentino span- set up lecture in 15 min segments and allow time for questions. Brilliant
Focussing on positive feedback when walking through as students work by themselves after a demonstration, rather than focussing mainly on correcting errors or making improvements.
My biggest takeaway is varying the delivery method of information. Not everyone takes in information the same way, some might find it easy to follow along with traditional lecture while that might sap others of motivation. So wether it's varied lecturing styles or demonstrations, switching up the styles will help everyone in the long run.
- The attention span of most individuals is in the 15-18 minute range.
- We generally only remember about 25% of what we hear.
- We normally only retain 40% of what we read.
- We can listen 4 times faster than we can speak.
This course was more of a refresher to me for what I am currently doing in the class room.
Have a variety of teaching delivery options to keep students egnaged
Lecture format is key to a successful delivery and can be delivered in various ways such as expository, interactive, problem-solving, case studies, or a combination. Practice, practice, practice can better prepare the instructor for a successful delivery.

10-15 min increments is essential in education
Because people learn by trial and error, observation or by doing, content is best presented using several types of lectures. Expository lectures can present foundational facts and concepts, but may bore and disengage students. Interactive lectures allow them to brainstorm as you help to organize their thoughts. Problem-solving and case study lectures work well for advanced students to access higher levels of learning, and all lecture types may be combined. Demonstrations can be very effective and should be well planned and praticed. Have a back-up plan in case the demonstration does not go well, and have students do a hands-on activity directly after to help them apply what they have learned. I will keep these lecture types in mind to ensure my lessons go beyond expository lecture and address the learning styles of all students in my class.
To teach all types Of learning styles. In corporate learning with field trips and quest speakers.
learn in 3 basic ways: trial/error, observation and doing
Having a variety of ways to teach what you want students to learn is important because everyone learns differently. Also it is important to chunk you lessons into about 15 minute sections so students absorb the information better so you do not lose they attention.
In the Covid-19 "era" I had to reevaluate everything to be accessible and engaging and exciting all over again as I could not be movong around. So this was good to get my brain cells rejuvenated!!
It is important to construct a good lesson plan while keeping in mind the different learning stlyes of adult learners as well as things to work around such as attention span of <18 minutes and only being able to retain ~25% of what we hear.
I learn the importance to keep the lectures short due to the brain learning spam is 15 to 18 minutes effective, and to apply differect lerning styles through my lesson. I will apply this tecniques my classroom.
This is a great module about lerning about myself an effective teaching strategy to keep my students engage.
this module took the previous modules and rolled them up into a cohesive strategy to teaching.
Use all of the forms of lecture in order to keep students engages and thinking.
