Course Overview
This is the first of a series of seven courses that will instruct
you in how to teach adults. It is an introductory course so it
will introduce you to a number of concepts. Some of these concepts will
be introduced to you again in much more depth in other courses
(Advanced Instructional Methods) while with other concepts, you will be
expected to become more proficient (writing objectives) in other
courses.
The goal of this course is to help you learn the fundamentals
of teaching adults. Other courses will expand this knowledge
and these skills.
The course is divided into five sections:
- Fundamentals of adult learners
- Fundamentals of lesson planning
- Writing of instructional objectives
- Review of teaching strategies
- Review of evaluation instruments
Each of the sections will begin with an overview of the section with
its objectives and list of slide shows or pages. Each slide
show or page will include the objectives that are appropriate
for it. Many of them will include self-assessments and/or practice
exercises. These are included so that you become actively involved
in the learning process and that you discover whether you understand
the course content.
