How can we bring subject matter to life online? In this session, we will bust through the myth that content equals learning and discover strategies to enhance digital classroom activities through contextualization. Large and small group discussions will allow us to explore how contextualized learning works across different disciplines.
As educators, we know that having engaging course content is crucial for motivating and engaging adult learners. However, we don't always know how to make this happen, particularly in online and hybrid environments. How can we bring subject matter to life in an online course?
In this session, we will:
-
Bust through the myth that content equals learning and discover strategies to enhance digital classroom activities through contextualization.
-
Engage in large and small group discussions, which will form a collaborative think tank to explore how contextualized learning works across different disciplines.
Contextualized learning encourages students to apply classroom knowledge to real-world scenarios. It also equips students to find connections between the subject matter and personal experiences, making concepts more meaningful and relevant, which assists them in advancing their knowledge base. This session will inspire you to re-design normative learning activities by turning them into assignments that are practical, engaging, and ultimately more meaningful for your students.
