Course Description: Why do presenters rely on lectures to the exclusion of other learning activities such as small groups, case studies, debates, learning games, etc.? Presenters should design effective learning activities that help the students achieve the learning objectives. Learning objectives define what the students will learn. The learning activities define how the students will achieve those learning objectives. The faculty for this webinar will demonstrate several learning activities that improve learning outcomes as well as comprehension and retention.
