Deep Dive Webinar : Deep Learning Strategies & When to Use Them [VDC] ‘Experienced and expert educators wish to engage their learners and often use strategies and activities to do so. However, recent research indicates that not all strategies and activities are effective and what and when are equally important when it comes to instruction that has an impact on learning. Furthermore, although surface learning is important to build knowledge, concepts and skills we have an over emphasis on surface learning of up to 90%. We need to re-balance this to include more deep learning. “Approaches that facilitate students’ surface-level learning do not work equally well for deep learning, and vice versa. Matching the right approach with the appropriate phase of learning is the critical lesson to be learned.” - Hattie, Fisher and Frey [2017] In this interactive and applied webinar Karen Dymke will identify research backed strategies so you can be confident to use the right strategy at the right time for optimal learning’.
