Instructional Time Management to Maximize Learning

Instructional Time Management to Maximize Learning


Most of us know that dedicating adequate time to any given topic or idea is important to the learning process, but did you know that how you structure time within the learning experience (such as at what times within the experience new ideas are presented) can also have an impact on learner retention? This session will focus on research-based methods for structuring the time within an individual learning experience (a single class meeting or workshop) in order to maximize learning. We’ll discuss specific strategies for organizing instructional time to enhance clarity, understanding, and learner engagement while also helping instructors develop a greater sense of influence over what learners learn and remember.
