In this first workshop we will focus on: what is learning, how it occurs and how teaching practices impact learning. Participants will discuss the types of teaching that they have experiences and how they learn best. Teacher centered vs. learner centered pedagogy will be compared and discussed. A short reading on “How Learning Works” [available on the workshop Moodle site] will be used as a starting point for developing a core understanding of the seven principles of learning. Participants attend the workshop session, do the short reading and post a short reflection on the workshop Moodle site will be recognized as having completed this workshop.
