Learning remotely and online can present new challenges, or just put a strain on your existing learning strategies. You might be finding that you’re being provided with a lot of learning materials such as powerpoint slides, video, readings or handouts. What do you do with all this material, and how can you make sure you’re learning effectively rather than just staring at your screen, with nothing really going in?

Listen to Helen, one of our tutors, suggesting a few strategies to ensure that you’re actively engaging with learning materials and getting the most out of them.

40 Strategies to Engage Students

 

Ask yourself, what affinity did you engage in when you were 12 that you had an absolute passion for? That is the definition of engagement. What does engagement feel like? Lean forward in your chair, than lean back. Feel the difference?

A Four-Phase Process For Implementing Essential Questions

Dennis Swender's insight:

"In other words, inquiry by design, not mere teacher rhetorical questioning, makes an EQ come to life and go into depth. The texts, prompts, rules of engagement, and final assessments provide the key elements needed for the design to succeed, in light of the just-noted criteria: an intriguing and key question, inherent ambiguity, clearly differentpoints of view, and shades of gray that will require careful questioning and discerning observation and research."

Learning Is a Learned Behavior. Here’s How to Get Better at It.

Learning Is a Learned Behavior. Here’s How to Get Better at It. | Educational Pedagogy | Scoop.it
Many people mistakenly believe that the ability to learn is a matter of intelligence. For them, learning is an immutable trait like eye color, simply luck of the genetic draw. People are born learners, or they’re not, the thinking goes. So why bother getting better at it?

And that’s why many people tend to approach the topic of learning without much focus. They don’t think much about how they will develop an area of mastery. They use phrases like “practice makes perfect” without really considering the learning strategy at play. It’s a remarkably ill-defined expression, after all. Does practice mean repeating the same skill over and over again? Does practice require feedback? Should practice be hard? Or should it be fun?

Why Feedback Should Come in the Middle, Not at the End - InformED

Why Feedback Should Come in the Middle, Not at the End - InformED | Educational Pedagogy | Scoop.it

"Traditionally, we give and receive feedback at the end of projects, assignments, and units. But is this the best way to ensure progress?

To help your students learn from the feedback, consider adding a "draft" sometime in the middle of your time period allowing for constructive feedback to inform the project rather than helping for only future assignments.
