Goal of the Presentation

The overall goal of thispresentation is toprovide faculty withinformation andstrategies to enhance

learner participation ineducational activities.

Like a conductor-youcan orchestrate youreducational activity tomaximize the learningexperience for theparticipant!


3/52

Educational Objectives for this Presentation

At the end of this presentation you will be able to:

List three characteristics of adult learners

Select interactive strategies for live and self studyactivities

Identify the three segments of a learning activitywhere interactive strategies can be used

Orchestrating Learner Participation

An old Native American saying goes like this-

Tell me and Ill forget. Show me and I may notremember. Involve me and Ill understand

This saying captures the potential power of including active learning

strategies in your educational activity.


5/52

Adult learners prefer to be engagedin their learningnot just listening

but doing!

Live programs,webinars, conferencepresentations, study clubsessions and self studyactivities such as journal

based continuingeducation or on lineprograms canincorporate strategiesfor active learning.


6/52

Farewell to the old style ofpresentations and lectures!

The talk and chalklectures of old have beenretired. However,many presenters havesimply replaced the old

approach with a powerpoint presentationcombined with lecture.

This is just another form

of sit and get or talkand chalk.

Active learning meansdeveloping andimplementing plannedactivities to engage theparticipant as aPARTNER in theactivity.


7/52

What is active learning?

It is a planned series of actions or events to invitethe participant to process, apply, interact and share

experiences as part of the educational process.

The interactive components support the goal andthe educational objectives for learning activity.


8/52

Active Participation in Learning

When active learningstrategies are used the

participant is reading,talking, writing,describing, touching,

interacting, listeningand reflecting on theinformation and the

materials presented.


9/52


y Active learning promotesproblem solving, critical

thinking, manipulationof materials, analysis,synthesis and evaluationof the information.

y Active learning focuseson the desired outcome

for the participant as aresult of the learningactivity.


10/52


y Active learning builds

upon what we know fromresearch regarding adultlearning preferences and

styles.

y Here are some of thingsthe research indicates:


11/52

What We Know About Adult Learners

y Adult learners are selfdirected-they seek out

learning activities toenhance their ownknowledge-andespecially to meet a

need!

y The adult learner wants

to draw on their richpersonal andprofessional experiences.


12/52


y Adults learn best whenthe information

presented is contextualand relevant.

y

Adults want to be able toapply new informationand skills immediately.

y Sharing information withfellow participants isvalued.


13/52


y While some adults mayhave a preference for

material presentedvisually or auditorily-over 86% of adultlearners are kinesthetic

learners.

y They learn best when

material is presented in asee, hear and TOUCHformat.


14/52


15/52

What is the benefit of active learning?

When participants areinvolved in theirlearning, rather then

being passive observers,they are more likely tomaster the informationor concepts presented,apply them to their

practice, and retain theinformation presented .

y When developing liveeducational activities to

be presented to a smallor large groupapproximately 50% of

the planning should beon content-50% on thedelivery of the

material.

y Self directed activitiesand live presentations

can include a variety ofactivities before, duringand after the learning

experience to engagethe participant inactive learning.

Incorporating active learningstrategies

Three important timepoints can guide yourselection and use ofactive learning

strategies.You can design yourpresentation to includeactivities that address:

PRE-LEARNING

LEARNING WITHIN

THE COURSE ORLECTURE

POST-LEARNING AND

CARRY OVER


18/52

Strategies for active participation:Pre-learning Strategies

Live Programs and Self Study

You can set the stage foractive learning evenbefore the session orlesson begins. In bothlive or self study courses

and activities you canintroduce conceptsthrough:

Ice breaker Activities

Puzzles

Agendas

Flow Sheets

Pre-Tests

Surveys

Strategies for Active Learning:Pre-Learning Strategies


KWL

An effective pre-learningstrategy that will helpthe participant focus onthe application of thematerial is to have theminformally and brieflylist their personal KWL .

K= What the participantalready KNOWS aboutthe subject

W= What they WANT toknow

L= How they want to usewhat they LEARN


20/52

Strategies for Active LearningPre-Learning Strategies


CONNECTING

Developing an emotionalconnection with the

audience either in a livepresentation or in a selfstudy module enhancesthe satisfaction of theparticipant with the

learning activity.

You can develop anemotional connectionthrough photographs,

videos, and yourpresentation style.


21/52

Strategies for Active LearningPre-Learning Strategies


Using a Pre-Test canhelp the participant tofocus their learningexperience on the topicsand problems covered in

the course.

Testing for knowledgeallows the participant to

quickly assess theircurrent skill level andidentify areas wheremore information, skillsor experience is needed.


22/52

Strategies for Active Learning

Whether the activity you are planning is for a livepresentation, journal continuing education or self study

program you can include active learning components.

Some strategies, tips and techniques for engaging the adult

learner fit easier into the live program format.

Many of these strategies can be adapted effectively when

developing self study materials and courses.

Lets review sample strategies for live programs.


23/52

Live ProgramsLive Programs PlanningPlanning

y Begin the session with anoverview of the presentation

y

Outline why the material isimportant to the learner

y Break the presentation into 15minute content sections-withopportunities to ask aquestion or recap theinformation in small sections
