Center for Teaching and Learning Virtual Office Hours 

Helping Students Learn How To Learn: What Can Faculty Do? 

 Thursday, March 6 

4 to 5 p.m. 

Microsoft Teams  

Students have been taking tests for years, but do they know how to LEARN? Please join us for 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 model strategies involve having students answer questions, complete activities and develop their metacognitive awareness to understand how learning works. In this session, we will focus on 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. 

CTL policy prohibits use of AI tools or bots for notetaking or recording during online sessions.
