An Introduction to this workshop may be completed in 1-2 hour Pro-D workshop, however, to harness the benefits of GULT theory fully, \u00a0a full one-day workshop that allows maximum interactivity with the material is suggested. Participants are provided multiple online interactivities, however, if conducted face to face, hands-on materials may be given to finish the next step planning session which is to create GULT lesson plans, present\/reflect on lesson plans and get peer feedback followed by an evaluation of the workshop by the participants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>What is this guide?<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This guide provides information about the purpose and goals of this workshop, theoretical frameworks of instructional design of the website, information about prospective users, and the assessment of learning of the participants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Purpose:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This workshop is intended for educators, administrators, curriculum designers, parents, students and anyone around the world who wish to understand the learning process and improve the quality of education and learning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Goals of this workshop:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" title=\"Page 10\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<ul>\n<li>To motivate the audience sufficiently to utilize the potential of all the learning theories using a universal, flexible and adaptable learning framework.<\/li>\n<li>To provide a basic start-up kit of resources (three unit plans: primary, elementary, and secondary along with assessment plan and appropriate EdTech tools) for individual classrooms to use the GULT learning framework.<\/li>\n<li>To provide a chance to reflect on participant learning via various activities along with assessment criteria.<br \/>\nInstructional design<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">4MAT Instructional design to\u00a0promote the effectiveness of the Workshop Delivery<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As teachers, we always aim to help our students construct learning in depth and breadth as specified by the curriculum. However, unorganized content delivery may not meet the requirement. Hence, to provide the best learning experience to our students, we need to understand the goal of education, nature of education, existing learning theories, develop responsive, personalized learning frameworks using available learning theories along with learning about how humans learn. The 4MAT Cycle of Instruction is a cycle that helps us to use brain-based learning strategies to unfold our full potential in an organized manner in four different steps. Please visit 4MAT Cycle page to know more about this cycle.
