Improving Student Learning 4-Pack

It seems like a simple question: When it comes to improving student learning, what works best?

Of course, you know the answer is anything but simple.

There are almost as many theories as there are classrooms to try them out in.

So how do you know which ones have merit? How do you know which ones to try out in your classroom?

We’ve asked some of higher education's leading authorities on the subject to discuss what they believe (and what research often shows) to be the best approaches in this special package of Magna 20 Minute Mentors.

Improving Student Learning 4-Pack includes:

How Can I Promote Deep Learning Through Critical Reflection?

• Real learning requires more than mere passive absorption of information. Your students should be receiving information, reflecting on it, questioning it, testing it, applying it … really understanding it. In this program Barbara Jacoby, Ph.D.,  gives you proven ways to help students move toward a deep appreciation of course material

Learner-Centered Teaching—Where Should I Start?

• While you and many faculty have a difficult time imagining students taking on more responsibility for their own learning success, presenter Maryellen Weimer, Ph.D,  shows you how a variety of creative and motivational activities can help them do exactly that.

How Can I Promote Deep, Lasting Student Learning?

• Presented by Linda Suskie and examines 17 research-supported classroom practices you can use to create a richer, more meaningful learning experience. You’ll learn how you can incorporate these methods—ranging from segmentation of complex assignments to grading strategies—into your classroom.

How Can I Use Voice Feedback to Improve Student Learning?

• Research shows that students value voice feedback over written feedback—and that they’re more likely to incorporate it and retain it. In this program,  John Orlando, Ph.D.,  shows you how you can easily integrate voice feedback into your courses using Microsoft Word and PDF software.

Each of these Magna 20 Minute Mentor programs includes…
