All are welcome to attend a webinar entitled “Evidence-Based Teaching in Higher Education: Strategies to Improve Student Learning.” The webinar will be shown in the Regis Room North on Tuesday, December 1, from 2:00 p.m. -2:45 p.m.
The presentation will address the science of learning and indicate what research works in the classroom, and what doesn’t work.
Some of the items that will be covered during the webinar are:
• The learning needs of today’s college students—and the strategies to address them
• Approaches you can use to help your students get the most out of studying
• Practical strategies for evidence-based teaching
• Various teaching practices and learning strategies that promote a deeper understanding of the information provided
• What “desirable difficulties” are, and why they’re so important in the teaching environment
• How to use desirable difficulties when you teach
• Techniques that help students learn more when they read
• Why multitasking doesn’t work—and how to explain that to your students
• How to help students create ideal study conditions for improved learning
The webinar summary also indicates that there will be downloadable materials during the seminar, so attendees may want to have a laptop or tablet during the presentation.
