Tailoring Online Instruction - Using Evidence from Learning Research to Reframe our Thinking about Learning Styles

Thursday, November 5, 2020 | 3:00 - 4:00 p.m.

Event Type: Webinar
Facilitator: Hillary Steiner

Despite a lack of scientific evidence to support the idea that individuals have distinct learning styles, the learning style myth persists, embraced by many instructors in an effort to respond to visible learning differences among students. However, other well-researched constructs like metacognition may prove to be much more useful as we seek to capitalize on our students' individual cognitive differences and tailor our online instruction accordingly. In this interactive webinar we will examine research on learning styles and metacognition, reflect on our own approaches to student learning differences, and share ideas for promoting metacognitive teaching and learning in the online environment as an alternative to learning styles.
