Stepping stones to learner engagement
Posted by: Paul Beaufait in TeachingPractices, blogospheresThese are “Eight Simple Rules for Engaging Learners” gleaned from Heather Ross (McToonish, 2007.07.16), who’d picked them up from a conference presentation by Ellen Wagner the day before:
- Capture their attention;
- Convince them to care;
- Motivate them to change;
- Give them choices;
- Connect them with community;
- Induce them to participate;
- Enable opportunities to contribute; [and]
- Make it an experience to remember.
That’s a tall order that I want to reflect upon further, possibly after tracking down details of Wagner’s presentation.
