WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

Prerequisite: On Course I Workshop

At the On Course I Workshop, you learned strategies for empowering students to become active, responsible learners. In this advanced workshop, you'll not only add to your repertoire of student-empowerment strategies, you'll also learn to design and deliver learner-centered educational experiences that help students move from superficial to deep learning. 

These advanced design and facilitation skills will also give you the knowledge and resources to help your colleagues provide more effective educational experiences for their own students. The skills you will learn are drawn from best practices in academic curriculum design, brain research, learning styles, active-learning principles, corporate training methodology, and personal development strategies.

If you want to help students become active, responsible learners and/or you want to take a leadership role in helping your college or university become more learner-centered, this is the workshop for you!
