Teaching and Learning in Higher Education: Increases knowledge
and skills as they relate to teaching and learning in the university
setting. Course topics include: course planning, developing presentation
skills for both large and small groups, constructing valid assessment
techniques, building successful learning environments and integrating
current technology into educational delivery. This course is designed to deepen and to broaden your knowledge and skills in teaching adults. You will have opportunities to plan for teaching adults in formal learning settings (classrooms, workshops, seminars) and in informal settings (apprenticeships, developmentally oriented programs). You will also apply your learning to the nurturing of community development and social reform initiatives. We will examine a wide variety of topics relevant to teaching adults, including course planning, lecture design, seminar and workshop facilitation and to the motivation of adult learners. We will also explore the spiritual dimensions of learning in higher education. You will apply this acquired knowledge of adult learning theories and meaning making of experience to your course discussions/ postings and to your assignments. |

Reflection ~November 5, 2004
I do not think my general philosophy of teaching and learning has changes dramatically from this course. What I do have learned is this class in terms of adult learners is that, compared to elementary school students for example, adult learners are very 'finicky' learners. They appear to need all sorts of special "treatments" to make sure they can learn to their full potential. Younger students are much more easier to deal with in that sense.
