Knowles: Andragogy—the “art and science of helping
adults” Maturity brings self-direction Experience is a resource for learning Adults prefer immediate application to future
use of knowledge Internal motivations are more potent than
external Adults want to know why it is important to know

McClusky: Adulthood is a time of growth, change and
integration in which one constantly seeks balance between the amount of energy needed and the amount available.
Ratio between the ‘load’ (L) of life, which dissipates energy, and the ‘power’ (P) of life, which allows one to deal with the load.
Margin in life is the ratio of load to power More power means a greater margin to actively
participate in learning

Illeris:
Three dimensions involved in learning: cognition emotion society
They are presented as an inverted triangle, with cognition and emotion at the top and environment at the bottom of the inverted apex; all three aspects of learning occur within society, represented by a circle around a triangle.

Jarvis: All learning begins with experience. All learning begins with the five senses and
learning is ultimately dependent on our body and biology because of the way that our senses function.
The significance is that the original sensations have been transformed into knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, and emotions.
All experience occurs within that individual learner’s world, not the whole world.

Wlodkowski and Ginsberg:
They note that students need to develop a deep understanding of a subject in order for facts to become usable knowledge. Concepts make factual knowledge
meaningful. Faculty should “focus on the key
concepts of a discipline that tie the significant facts together and make them understandable and usable.”

Wlodkowski & Ginsberg:Steps for Designing an Instructional Plan: Clarify the learning goals. Determine the amount of time you have to
help learners accomplish the learning goals. Analyze the inherent structure of the
material, knowledge, or skill students will learn.
Consider the assessment process.

Assessments
Direct Indirect evidence of student learning
that is tangible, visible, self-explanatory, and compelling explanation of what the students have learned.
Examples:◦ Scores on standardized exams◦ Ratings of student skills (using
a rubric) by field supervisors◦ Scores on comprehensive
exams◦ Portfolios◦ Disaggregated Assignment
Grades specifically focused on one Learning Outcome.
Evidence supports proxy signs. Examples:
◦ Course grades◦ Aggregated Assignment
grades◦ Retention and graduation
rates◦ Student ratings of their
knowledge and skills and reflections on what they have learned over the course of the program.
◦ Scores on an end-of-program (or end-of-course) survey.

Rather than being rigid and fixed, accelerated learning should be flexible and open-ended.
It should be more democratic than hierarchical, more collaborative than individualistic.
Accelerated learning should be creative and activity-driven rather than prescriptive and presentation-driven.

Rapid Design
![Page 30: ACCELERATING TRADITIONAL COURSES 2013 CAEL Conference November 7, 2013 11:00am-12:15pm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051821/568161cf550346895dd1c388/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
1. Design with the 4-phase learning cycle2. Appeal to all learning styles3. Make your designs activity-based4. Create a learning community5. Alternate between physically active and
physically passive learning activities6. Follow the 30/70 rule7. Create a flexible, open-ended design
The 7 Principles of Rapid Design:
![Page 31: ACCELERATING TRADITIONAL COURSES 2013 CAEL Conference November 7, 2013 11:00am-12:15pm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051821/568161cf550346895dd1c388/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
A. PreparationArousal: overcome negatives, interest them
B. PresentationEncounter: introduce them to the material
C. PracticeIntegration: show them how to fit it into
their livesD. Performance
Application: use role-playing or examples for work environment
1. The 4-Phase Learning Cycle
![Page 32: ACCELERATING TRADITIONAL COURSES 2013 CAEL Conference November 7, 2013 11:00am-12:15pm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051821/568161cf550346895dd1c388/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Overcome initial fears and prior negative learning feelings: boredom, irrelevance, stress…
Be positive. Offer clear, meaningful goals. Create a positive emotional environment. Calm people’s fears and remove barriers. Raise questions, pose problems and
arouse their curiosity.
1. A. Preparation
![Page 33: ACCELERATING TRADITIONAL COURSES 2013 CAEL Conference November 7, 2013 11:00am-12:15pm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051821/568161cf550346895dd1c388/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Treat students as active consumers of interesting material.
Make the lesson enjoyable and immediately applicable.
Use collaborative pre-tests and knowledge sharing.
Incorporate interactive presentations and appeal to all learning styles.
Develop discovery and problem-solving exercises.
1. B. Presentation
![Page 34: ACCELERATING TRADITIONAL COURSES 2013 CAEL Conference November 7, 2013 11:00am-12:15pm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051821/568161cf550346895dd1c388/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Learning should be something that students create.
Develop learner processing and integration activities.
Use hands-on trial/feedback/reflection/retrial activities.
1. C. Practice
![Page 35: ACCELERATING TRADITIONAL COURSES 2013 CAEL Conference November 7, 2013 11:00am-12:15pm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051821/568161cf550346895dd1c388/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Design active learning exercises.
Ask for individual reflection and articulation.
Develop partner/team-based dialogue.
Use peer reviews and democratic facilitation.
1. C. Practice (continued)
![Page 36: ACCELERATING TRADITIONAL COURSES 2013 CAEL Conference November 7, 2013 11:00am-12:15pm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051821/568161cf550346895dd1c388/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Unless learning can be applied immediately, it may disappear….
Discuss real-world applications. Create and execute action plans. Follow through with reinforcement activities. Give performance evaluation and feedback. Develop peer-support activities.
1. D. Performance
![Page 37: ACCELERATING TRADITIONAL COURSES 2013 CAEL Conference November 7, 2013 11:00am-12:15pm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051821/568161cf550346895dd1c388/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Try to consider the “big 4”: SAVI Somatic: some kind of physical activity
(Easier in hybrid courses: make them move).
Auditory: Recitation and discussion aid retention.
Visual: A picture is worth 1000 words, but reading is also vital.
Intellectual: Mental reflection helps to create meaning.
2. Appeal to All Learning Styles
![Page 38: ACCELERATING TRADITIONAL COURSES 2013 CAEL Conference November 7, 2013 11:00am-12:15pm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051821/568161cf550346895dd1c388/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
What activities can facilitators design to help students learn and retain the important outcomes?
Facilitators need to develop some materials, but what activities can students engage in to help them to pick up the new knowledge and skills quickly?
3. Activity-Based Designs
![Page 39: ACCELERATING TRADITIONAL COURSES 2013 CAEL Conference November 7, 2013 11:00am-12:15pm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051821/568161cf550346895dd1c388/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Good learning is social.
Peer teaching is positive and important.
The more interconnectivity, the better the learning.
Activities for partners and teams make teaching and learning simultaneous.
4. Create a Learning Community
![Page 40: ACCELERATING TRADITIONAL COURSES 2013 CAEL Conference November 7, 2013 11:00am-12:15pm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051821/568161cf550346895dd1c388/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Use role play with small group discussions. Easier in a hybrid course than online:
ideas? Have students come to the board to put
up a diagram or model or write out a list. Change the person frequently. Have student stand to recite (!) [always a
shock the first time].
5. Alternate Between Physically Active and Physically Passive Learning
![Page 41: ACCELERATING TRADITIONAL COURSES 2013 CAEL Conference November 7, 2013 11:00am-12:15pm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051821/568161cf550346895dd1c388/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Try to take only 30% of the time for instructor presentations and
use the other 70% for student action, interaction and activities.
6. Follow the 30-70 Rule
![Page 42: ACCELERATING TRADITIONAL COURSES 2013 CAEL Conference November 7, 2013 11:00am-12:15pm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051821/568161cf550346895dd1c388/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Fields are changing constantly; so should the courses.
Courses should be “works in progress,” being tweaked frequently as needed.
Obtain feedback from the students: What worked? What didn’t? Most positive/negative aspects?
7. Create a Flexible, Open-Ended Design
![Page 43: ACCELERATING TRADITIONAL COURSES 2013 CAEL Conference November 7, 2013 11:00am-12:15pm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051821/568161cf550346895dd1c388/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
1. Determine desired goals and outcomes.2. Plan the main delivery.3. Plan the preparation for it.4. Plan the results.5. Develop the material.6. Deliver the course.7. Make improvements.
The 7-Step Rapid Design Process
![Page 44: ACCELERATING TRADITIONAL COURSES 2013 CAEL Conference November 7, 2013 11:00am-12:15pm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051821/568161cf550346895dd1c388/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
What are the goals?
What are the values?
How will learners create them?
What knowledge or skills will learners need to be successful?
1. Determine Goals
![Page 45: ACCELERATING TRADITIONAL COURSES 2013 CAEL Conference November 7, 2013 11:00am-12:15pm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051821/568161cf550346895dd1c388/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
What activities and assessments will help students reach the goals?
How can the facilitator appeal to all learning styles?
How will learners participate in presentations?
How will they work together and in teams to help each other learn?
2. Plan the Main Delivery
![Page 46: ACCELERATING TRADITIONAL COURSES 2013 CAEL Conference November 7, 2013 11:00am-12:15pm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051821/568161cf550346895dd1c388/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
How can the facilitator prepare learners before class starts?
What learner benefits should be stressed?
How will the facilitator create a positive social environment?
…a positive emotional environment?
3. Plan the Preparation Phase
![Page 47: ACCELERATING TRADITIONAL COURSES 2013 CAEL Conference November 7, 2013 11:00am-12:15pm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051821/568161cf550346895dd1c388/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
How can students reinforce and apply their new learning?
…and extend it after the session and course?
How can learners help improve the course and program?
4. Plan the Results Phase
![Page 48: ACCELERATING TRADITIONAL COURSES 2013 CAEL Conference November 7, 2013 11:00am-12:15pm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051821/568161cf550346895dd1c388/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Design the course map Learning module template
Set up the course outline
Create the activities◦ [Compare/Contrast: Classroom, Blended/Hybrid and
Online Delivery of Material]◦ [Interactive Learning: Technology, Games, Group
Discussions, etc.]
Develop the assessments
5. Develop the Material
![Page 49: ACCELERATING TRADITIONAL COURSES 2013 CAEL Conference November 7, 2013 11:00am-12:15pm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051821/568161cf550346895dd1c388/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Facilitate the course from the pre-class assignment week (if any) to the grading of the final project/exam.
