In his webinar Transforming Class Time with Digital: How to Support Experiential Learning and Student Employability, Cornel Plebani shares these tips for giving students more opportunities to succeed beyond the classroom:
Tip 1: Rethink class time
Use digital technology to free up class time, unlock your creativity, and determine what happens when you are with your students.
Tip 2: Build a rapport with your students
Building rapport can enable meaningful learning in the present and build a roster of returning experts for the future. These connections provide more opportunities.
Tip 3: Find a digital tool to extend your reach beyond the classroom.
Technology can be a powerful asset. Find the right digital tool for you and use it to push the envelope of how your class is defined.
Tip 4: Be a facilitator of learning, not a conduit of knowledge.
Find ways to spark and reward curiosity. Let students pick knowledge from whatever part of the learning tree they can reach rather than everyone drinking from the same fountain.
