Teaching staff who, regardless of their teaching experience, would like to learn about the interdisciplinary field of the learning sciences and become familiar with key concepts they can apply when planning their courses.

Course Content

Research in the learning sciences provides an invaluable insight into how we learn and how we can design teaching that supports learning best. In this course, participants will gain a foundation in relevant concepts of research on learning and will produce a plan to apply evidence-based findings in their teaching.

Week One will focus on: 

  • discovering some common beliefs and misconceptions about learning
  • exploring the learning brain: perception, attention and memory

 

Week Two will focus on:

  • becoming familiar with some key strategies for effective learning and the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework
  • reflecting on how teaching can align with science-based findings on how we learn

Week Three will focus on: 

  • participants planning the application of some of the learning sciences concepts in one of their courses (this constitutes the final activity of the course)

 

This is a fully online course, taking place asynchronously in Canvas. Weekly materials and activities with their corresponding deadlines for each week will be available on Mondays.

Additionally, there will be two optional online synchronous sessions – one at the end of week one and another one at the end of week two. These sessions are reserved for open discussion, they will last for approximately one hour (times decided at the beginning of the course) and will not be recorded.

To pass the course, participants are expected to complete all activities of the course. Upon completion of the course, participants will receive a formal certificate.
