How Do
Students Learn?
When you are deciding how you would like to present
your course content, think about the different ways students learn
online. Could you learn in the same manner that you are expecting
them to learn? Are there alternative methods to explain the same
content?
Below are some examples on how we learn and how
these methods can be transferred to an online learning environment.
