In the last 18 months I've made 22 trips to four colleges in four states as an instructional coach for Project DEgree and designed 35 2-hr. training modules for Oregon Child Development Coalition's preservice training for new employees. I've done lots of hunting about for both projects and thought I'd share my four favorite resources of 2011, all of which I've used on one or the other (and sometimes both) of my projects this year. All are turn-key ready and three of the four are based in research. If you are an instructional designer, trainer or teacher of adults, you are bound to find something here you can use. Enjoy!
1. How to create active learning in large lecture classes without a lot of prep or time. Quick-Thinks for Interactive Lectures
2. User-friendly forms, tools and processes for making cooperative teams really work in your college classroom, including what to do with hitchhikers, how to get homework turned in, and how to blend individual and group grades into a course grade. Turning Student Groups into Effective Teams
3. A great (if somewhat dated) but still powerful and fun video clip of learner-centered teaching using relevant and familiar content and metaphor to teach unfamiliar and technical material to a struggling student, from a 70's TV show! WKRP Venus Explains the Atom
4. What managers, trainers and trainees can do before, during and after training to greatly enhance the transfer of learning from Broad & Newstrom's Transfer of Training.
