Webcast Audio Seminar Series
Learner-Centered Strategies for the
Lecture Hall
|
|
The delivery of higher education is
going through a paradigm shift whereby the straightforward
transmission of information in the form of a lecture is
being reconsidered in favor of learner-centered approaches.
In the spring 2005 Webcast Audio Seminar series we looked at
the theory behind learner centered education. Now, in this
fall 2006 series we combine this theoretical approach, to
learner centered education, with the lecture (as a form of
educational delivery) in examining “Learner Centered
Strategies for the Lecture Hall”.
The series starts off with us ‘finding
out how well they are learning what we are teaching’ with
Dr. Tom Angelo, an expert on classroom assessment, speaking
to us from New Zealand. This is followed with Dr. Ron
Harden, a pioneering educator in the Medical Sciences who
has built an International medical program offered entirely
online, speaking about ‘learning styles and teaching
approaches in the physical and virtual lecture hall’. Ron
will be speaking to us from Scotland. After a break in the
series to facilitate attendance at the AAMC meeting, we will
continue with Dr. Jeanne Schlesinger exalting us to ‘say no
to boring lectures, whether live or online’. We will finish
the series with Dr. Steve Ehrman, vice president of the
Teaching, Learning and Technology group speaking to us on
‘evaluating the effectiveness of distance learning’ and Dr.
Carol Nichols sharing the results of a survey which she did
which speaks to the ‘student’s perspective on lectures’. We
will be joined in this final seminar by some students from
the University of Massachusetts Medical school who will add
their perspective to the discussion. We invite you to join
this Webcast audio ‘lecture’ series as learners and, in so
doing, challenge the speakers as to how they might keep you
engaged in what you are learning! |
