This course lended great support to my understanding of techniques to deliver course content to the students. The course content must (particularly with adult learners and techincal-vicational education) be presented through a participative and sensory stimulating strategy; sensory being auditory, visual, tactile. Learners need to be engaged, stimulated and then participate in exercises and challenges recall the information. Prior to ED101 I would have focused on cycling through teaching strategies, now I focus on combining teaching styles (especially during lectures) to catch the attention of as many students as possible. Has anyone found an effective strategy for engaging tactile students especially during longer lectures (other than allowing more frequent breaks)?
