Delivering Course Content
In a classroom we have 4 styles of learning and 3 ways students learn. We as instructors must reach as many students as possible therefore, we must try to reach at least 2 learning styles each class period provided the stubject content allows this diversification. I use a demonstration of a problem in Accounting on the white board first, lecture next, and then I use Excel and a projector to show the worked probelm on the screen. Then I allow the students to pick a problem for me to work and we work the problem together. This seems to work. Then they have a similar problem for homework.In Document Processing I, II, and III I key along with the students which seems to help the students build confidence.In Spreadsheets I always work the Tutorial with the students and then they work the Review and case problems at their own pace.
Knowing that there are multiple learning styles, I always asks my group are they are aware of their learning styles so that I make sure to zero in on how they receive and process information.
Hi Mary Jane,
I like the way you are bringing variety and alternatives into your classes. This way the different learning preferences of your students will be touched upon helping individual student engagement. Also, the tutorial support is such a great way to keep students moving forward without the becoming discouraged and withdrawing.
