One area I'd like to incorporate is more student involvement in the process. While we have few degrees of freedom in curriculum design, there are areas that might work better with student directed activities such as testing or assignment development.
Students need to have input, they enjoy ineracting with other classmates. We as instructors always need to listen and respect our students and treat them as individuals
This module offered a lot of learning strategies for building on student empowerment-- factors such as: sharing the learning vision, courtesy, respect, rapport, feedback, and technology-- are all important and increases student's empowerment...
Always get the students involve in decision- making and instructors need to listen to students in order to increase involvement or engagement while building the foundation for empowerment
I get new students every 3 weeks. Day one establishes the entire 3 week session. An initial meet and greet works great for establishing info about the student that will enhance their overall course experience.
I use practice board exam questions with multiple answer choices and have the class work in groups of 3. Each team captain defends their answer choice if different from another groups.
