Student Centered Learning
I was recently passed a link to some online readings from the All Ireland Society for Higher Education (AISHE) – thanks Michelle!. The article titled Student Centred Learning: What Does it Mean for Students and Lecturers? sparked my interest mainly because it seems such a misunderstood concept. The authors suggest a continuum for considering student centered learning and offer an overview of related teaching practices and critiques of the approach. Though not focused on distance learning, this article addresses various approaches that easily translate to an online learning environment.
