Learner Centred Learning/Welcome

Welcome and Introductions


Kia ora and welcome to Learning Centred Learning or LCL for short.

I'm Veronique Olin and have taken over facilitating this course from 2012. I wish to acknowldege Heather Day's work in developing all the current course content on WikiEducator and facilitating the course through to the end of 2011. Thank you Heather.

I hope this course provides you with a deeper insight into teaching and learning that encourages you to think carefully about how you best facilitate the learning of other adults in tertiary environments.

Learner Centred Learning (LCL) explores adult learning approaches along with the creation of learner centred environments; considering how these can foster active, interactive and deep learning strategies enabling students to achieve successful learning outcomes in a variety of contexts.

The schedule found under the course modules tab is for formal learners in the course. Informal learners are welcome to either follow the schedule in your own time or dip into the resources and play with the information shared in the hope that it adds to your own learning.

The formal Learner Centred Learning course consists of seven weeks of interactive learning online beginning March 19th 2012. Also offered are 6 face to face weekly workshops for those who are able to attend and 7 optional online Elluminate tutorial sessions. Following the seven interactive weeks there is time available for and an expectation of independent study.

Attached is the [[media:LCL Course Outline 12.pdf|LCL Course Outline 12]] for formal participants.

Participants can formally enrol by emailing EDCEnquiries@op.ac.nz.
