Adapting Your Instructional Strategy

Public

Discussion:

Hi Mark,
The key to long term retention of content is connection. There needs to be a connection between the learner and the content. The use of an episode is a good way of creating that connection. By the students having to work through a situation and use their problem solving skills their memories are going to retain the key information for a much longer period of time. Good strategy.
