In this session, we will discuss how to structure journaling assignments to ensure they are:
• grounded in adult learning theories;
• student-centered; and
• relevant to the students' needs and interests.

Journaling assignments:
• help students activate, and build upon their prior knowledge;
• provide ways to ascertain if students are doing required readings; and
• allow instructors to understand misconceptions that students may possess prior to engaging with the course materials.

Presenter:

• Steve Sturman, Instructional Designer, School of Social Work

Facilitator:

• Cheryl Oyer
