Learn about tools for Microlearning
Check out this really interesting Work Load Estimator for making sure you are not overloading students (or yourself!) and the research behind the calculations.
Or consider ways to enhance student locus of control through appreciative inquiry (AI) to improve motivation and engagement in courses. “The basic tenet of applying Appreciative Inquiry (AI) to academic learning is to help students generate awareness of their core values and strengths through appreciative dialogues, initially between the student and their professor: 1. Discovery by creating awareness of values; 2. Dream by envisioning what is possible; 3. Design by creating conversations to provoke ideals; and 4. Destiny by co-constructing future initiatives. AI can be applied in various populations and settings.” (Sudak-Allison et al., 2021). Read their study here.
