Teaching Resources

Creating Significant Learning Experiences by L. Dee Fink Dee Fink poses a fundamental question for all teachers: "How can I create courses that will provide significant learning experiences for my students?" In the process of addressing this question, he urges teachers to shift from a content-centered approach to a learning-centered approach that asks "What kinds of learning will be significant for students, and how can I create a course that will result in that kind of learning?"

Learning Outcomes: Easy as ABCD (Guide from CBU)
A learning outcome is a collection of words, pictures or diagrams intended to let others know what you intend for your students to achieve.
- It is related to intended results rather than the process for achieving those results.
- It is specific and measurable, rather than broad and intangible.
- It is concerned with what students need to know, or do, or feel not with what teachers need to
know, or do, or feel.
