ACCSC Webinar Series: Using Learning Styles to Meet Objectives in the Classroom
A four-part webinar series presented by Cyanna
Using Learning Styles to Meet Objectives in the Classroom is presented in an asynchronous fashion via four one-hour webinar sessions. This webinar series covers a diverse array of topics from basic theories to writing performance objectives, mapping learning activities, and assessments. Institutions are encouraged to maintain a copy of an instructor sign-in sheet for all faculty members who engage in any, or all of, the four modules and save a copy of the certificate from each module in each instructor's file.
Module I: Basic Learning Theories
During this webinar, participants will have an opportunity to learn about the principles of Behaviorism, Constructivism, as well as the Social Learning Theory. This webinar will focus on the background of these theories and discuss how faculty can effectively utilize them in the classroom. Participants will also be provided with examples of how to successfully implement these principles, as well as the steps to help create a more engaging educational experience.
Module Two:Writing Relevant Performance Objectives
This webinar focuses on how to properly write performance objectives as well as to how to address cognitive, psychomotor, and affective learning styles when developing performance objectives. During the webinar, participants are provided with examples as the presenters break the process down into steps to help faculty to develop sound expectations for course and learners.
Module Three:Creating your Course: Mapping Activities to Objectives
This webinar provides participants with an opportunity to discuss how to plan, identify, and map activities to align with established performance objectives in order to ensure complete objective coverage through learning activities. This webinar will also help faculty to develop or revise a road map for course development, and to help create an objective-driven course, while diversifying activities in order to maintain a high-level of student engagement.
Module Four:All About Assessments
Building on the previous webinars, the final session will focus on building on the success of established or revised performance objectives and activities, and developing appropriate assessments that effectively evaluate objectives. Participants will have an opportunity to learn how to determine and develop engaging assessments that go beyond basic simple answer and multiple choice styles. Participants will learn how to begin to adapt some assessments to increase the engagement and performance of their learners while ensuring that objectives are being appropriately covered.
