Designing Instruction for Adult Learners
Dr. Vernon Curran
Tuesday May 31, 8:30 am to 5:30 pm
Delta Chelsea Hotel
By popular demand, we bring back Dr. Vernon Curran, Co-Director of the Centre for Collaborative Health Professional Education and an Associate Professor of Medical Education with the Faculty of Medicine, Memorial University of Newfoundland. When this course was offered at CHLA/ABSC in 2004, it received a rating of 4.45 out of 5. Don’t miss this opportunity!
This course is intended to introduce participants to fundamental principles and methods underlying the instructional design process. Instructional design is a systematic process for making decisions about the development, delivery and evaluation of learning activities. The basic process of instructional design consists of needs assessment, designing and developing instructional strategies, delivery and evaluation to ensure that goals and objectives have been met. In this course, participants will have the opportunity to apply these steps in the design of adult learning programs. Participants will also have an opportunity to learn about themselves as adult educators and identify and discuss the unique characteristics of adult learners and the implications for the design of adult learning instruction.
