Description

Using Course Outcomes to Motivate Students to Integrate Learning

In this workshop, we’ll explore ways to link students’ dreams, passions, and goals to the learning they can achieve in your course. How can you show students that your course directly relates to their aspirations? Clearly communicating alignment between students’ personal goals and your course goals can create motivation and lay out a pathway for students to integrate learning in your course and across multiple domains. Vertical alignment in both directions–up to the broader program and institutional outcomes and down to the specific readings, assignments, and activities in your course–clarifies connections across what students are doing, the learning they are building, and why it is relevant to their personal goals. Horizontal alignment can help students connect what they are learning in their worlds outside of the classroom, including co-curricular, experiential, work, and personal life to their goals for developing in the classroom. Join us to discuss how to use alignment to motivate students and help them integrate learning within and across courses.
