Explore practical strategies that actively engage students\, understand the “why” behind these approaches\, and gain too ls to immediately apply in your own teaching.. “Learning-centered” emp hasizes the backward design process: starting with student learning outcom es. Teachers become “architects” or “designers” of learning enviro nments aimed at achieving student learning outcomes. This approach does no t neglect the needs and interests of the individual student but brings int o focus what we want a student to be able to do and know after the experie nce.\n\nURL: https://cirtl.net/event/real-world-and-hands-on-learning-lear ning-centered-teaching-strategies-for-student-success/\n\nONLINE: https:// cirtl.net/event/real-world-and-hands-on-learning-learning-centered-teachin g-strategies-for-student-success/ LOCATION: (Online) SUMMARY:Real-World and Hands-On Learning: Learning-Centered Teaching Strate gies for Student Success URL;VALUE=URI:https://cirtl.net/event/real-world-and-hands-on-learning-lear ning-centered-teaching-strategies-for-student-success/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP;TZID=America/Chicago:20260906T024424 UID:222806@calendar.wisc.edu DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261013T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261013T133000 DESCRIPTION:In this two-part workshop\, learn about the current state of re search on plagiarism\, how cognitive load theory can help explain certain kinds of student responses to writing or coding tasks\, and how those idea s are reflected in our assessments..
