Yes–here’s how…There’s a general belief that online courses need to be “student-generic” … the same instruction for each student. Tailoring the course to the learning needs and ambitions of individual students, the thinking goes, would create impossible demands on a professor’s time.
Not so, says author and consultant Judith Boettcher, Ph.D. Personalized learning is achievable, and can actually save professors time. She’ll explain how in Teach More Effectively with Customizing Learning Experiences, a brand-new online seminar coming July 14.
In this 75-minute audio presentation, Dr. Boettcher will examine how to create personalized and customizable course content that meets the needs of students and faculty alike. She’ll discuss:
• How to better understand the goals and mental models of individual learners.
• How to integrate the concepts of social, teaching and cognitive presence into course creation.
• How to “design in” choices and options for readings, assignments and projects.
• Where customization makes the most sense within a course.
• How to use rubrics to incorporate self- and peer-review processes.
• And much more.
Includes a Q&A session
Dr. Boettcher, with over two decades of experience in educational technology at institutions including Penn State and the University of Florida, is also lead author of the new book, The Online Teaching Survival Guide: Simple and Practical Pedagogical Tips. You’re invited to draw on her considerable expertise by submitting questions during the presentation, for discussion during a dedicated Q&A session. It’s an excellent opportunity for consultation and collaboration.
