Features
Complete topic coverage. Includes one lesson plan for each chapter/main topic (fifteen in total) traditionally covered in the first-year course. Each lesson plan comes with an accompanying slide deck to drive the lesson.
Easily customizable. Lesson plans (.doc file) and slide decks (.ppt file) are downloadable and customizable by the instructor or institution to meet specific course/class needs.
Ready-to-use lessons with built-in flexibility. Each lesson is designed to take 40-60 minutes, but is flexible enough to be extended over multiple class periods, condensed into a shorter class time, or broken up into one-off activities. Additionally, polling questions can be easily executed in class through iClicker, as the iClicker system seamlessly runs over PowerPoint® or any other presentation software, and requires no pre-programming of questions or content.
Affordable, all-in-one solution. Using Designed Learning Experiences with the accompanying student materials (The Pocket Guide to College Success 3e & iClicker REEF Polling, ISBN: 978-1-319-36722-0) provides your program with a complete set of robust class activities, e-book, and valuable iClicker engagement data for an affordable price of only $24.99 to the student.
Inclusive learning for today’s student. Many students today lack the time, resources, or motivation to complete required pre-class reading or assignments. When this happens, these students—often the most vulnerable—come to class already at a deficit. Designed Learning Experiences assumes no prior knowledge, so every student can come to class feeling as ready and able to learn as anyone else in the class.
Three-part learning arc. Each lesson follows the same format:
- Kick Start. A warm-up activity for the first 5-10 minutes of class.
- Purpose: Assessment of prior knowledge, ice breaker, build classroom culture, springboard, social norming
- Example activity types: Content quiz, Myth vs. Reality, Opinion/personal polling
- Activity. The main portion of the class that takes 20-40 minutes.
- Purpose: introduction of key concepts, experiential learning, constructivist teaching, skill-building
- Example activity types: Think/Pair/Share, Jigsaw, Research, Role-playing/Charades, Competition
- Takeaway. A final activity for the last 5-20 minutes of class where students apply their knowledge.
- Purpose: application of knowledge, goal-setting
- Example activity types: Create a generic asset/tool (e.g. a planner), Identify and adopt adaptive strategies, Write a Mantra / Vision board, Create a SMART goal/Plan
