Today’s Design Challenges
• Lecture/Demonstration
• Discovery Learning/Reporting Back

Advantages of Lecture/ Demonstration
Control of time management Control over coverage of content Control over order of content Can focus on content, specific resources

Advantages of Discovery Learning/Reporting Back
Active Peer dynamics Hands-on Students responsible for own learning Enhanced intrinsic motivation (due to reporting back) Learning in order to teach creates more motivation than
learning in order to be tested Failure useful – creates teachable moments

Enough of making nice …

Tear them Apart
• Work in teams• Get 1 marker and 2 easel pad sheets• On 1 sheet list everything that sucks about
lecture/demonstration• On another sheet list everything that sucks about
discovery learning/reporting back• Draw on your own experience• Think about all barriers and constraints • The longest list for each gets a reward!

Now ...take your methods
and fix them!
• Look to blend elements from the other method, if need be.

To make a square wheel work you just need to invent round ground …..

Personal solutions
• Combining lecture/demonstration with reporting back and assessment
Tools: ppt. for instructions whiteboard for navigation cues
1 page handout for tips LibGuide for more information Survey Gizmo for assessment
