CTL Webinar: Helping Students Learn
February 17, 2025
The UT Dallas Center for Teaching and Learning is hosting a webinar that will provide a model that helps students learn how to learn.
The upcoming Microsoft Teams event, Thursday, March 6 from 4 to 5 p.m., will feature an overview of the LEARN model — listening (attention), elaboration, association, retrieval and night (time management outside of class and sleep) — that was developed by Dr. Karla Lassonde at Minnesota State University, Mankato.
LEARN stands for listening (attention), elaboration, association, retrieval, and night (time management outside of class and sleep). The model involves having students answer questions, complete activities and develop their metacognitive awareness to understand how learning works.
In this session, Dr. Karen Huxtable-Jester, CTL director, will discuss specific classroom strategies and share checklists that students can use to monitor how they use cognitive principles of memory and attention to improve their learning.
Faculty, staff, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers are welcome to join. Participating in this session may fulfill part of the requirements for the graduate teaching certificate and postdoctoral teaching certificate programs.
CTL Virtual Office Hours are held from 4 to 5 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month.
