What did you learn from this course?

I learned the art of being a facilitator. Despite how the information is presented to the learners each of them will process the information differently based on their own reasoning styles, and in order to be a good facilitator one must be able to understand the cognitive styles and their differences I learned the art of delegation. The plans and assignments need to be written and planned out as much as possible. It is best to break tasks and assignments down and divide and conquer them. Personally, this semester has been my hardest, not because of school but due to personal issues and situations, but having a solid group help me to not lose grasp on the continent of the class. One thing graduate school has taught me is the importance of group work and maximizing one another’s strengths. The biggest surprise for me was the variants of learning styles and theories, some things I never realize that were backed up by science. I used to think that the responsibility to learn was solely on the student but I have since learned that the facilitator has a responsibility as well.
 

What did you like or dislike about our online discussions, group project and this course in general? 

  I disliked that all of the discussions were online and not available via Zoom or Webex, I felt that this type of interaction would have suited me best. At times I felt a little bit of information overload, too much of a good thing.

How do you think the project was able to help you understand the practical field and the theories? 

The Syllabus assignment was the assignment I learned the most from. Having examples of other people’s work from previous classes was helpful however, I wish I would have been able to see their rubric to see how they measured up to what the requirements are for the assignment.

    Hi Tally from Group 1,

    I, too, have a whole new appreciation for the abilities of the facilitator thanks to this course! It really makes you self-reflect on your skills as a facilitator. I immediately recognized some of my weaknesses in this area. And, of course, as I look back on some of my training experiences as a group learner, I understand why we were engaged in some of the learning activities that I was not particularly fond of. I think I will be a better learner in the future thanks to this course.

    Another thing that hit home for me is the group project setup. I agree it is important to work in a group and life can really get in the way of coordinating group schedules. I am so thankful that I had an effective and efficient group, and it sounds like you had the same situation.

    Reading the content helps but doing the syllabus review was challenging and interesting. I really liked the opportunity to do this as a group after looking at all the work involved in the project. I do agree with you on being able to see examples of other students' work from previous classes. This was very helpful and served as an excellent starter template for our project.

    I enjoyed watching your video. I hope you have a great week!

    Tomie Gartland

Learning Styles Theory Review: Cara Johnson

Theory Review: Learning Styles Cara Johnson Ball State University EDAC 635: Strategies for Teaching Adults Dr. Bo Chang February 21, 2021 Name Commented On Cara Johnson Josie Campbell  What type of learner are you? Learning style is a person’s preferences for how he or she learns information (MacKeracher, 2011). Every person has a unique preferred way of learning new information that works best for him or her. Facilitators must ensure that their lessons cater to multiple different learning styles, not just their preferred style. There are several different models that are useful for instructors, including the Felder and Silverman learning style model, Kolb’s model of learning styles, and the VARK model. Main Theoretical Points             The Felder and Silverman learning style model is a useful model for educators. The model has four dimensions: the perception di...

Final Showcase - Samuel Martin

    Group Members Roles Commented On Samuel Martin Video Reflection EDAC 635   Implementation of our syllabus Our Project   What did you learn from this course? In EDAC 635 I learned about teaching strategies and techniques for adult learners. This semester was my first time teaching a course as an instructor (EDHI 200), and this was my first class that I have taken that focuses on the learning process. My background is not in teaching, so I gained a new perspective on the learning process through taking this course.  I had never had to design a syllabus or collect teaching resources before, so this was a great first exposure to this experience.  What did you like or dislike about our online discussions, group project and this course in general? I liked the large amount of materials that was provided, the fact that this was a project based course that focused on how to  implement the material. How do you think the project was able to help you understan...
