Further Notes on Our Learner-Centered Pedagogy
The sessions were designed to include a brief “framing presentation,” with some time for discussion/activity and writing in the e-portfolio.
The facilitators were prepared to diverge at any moment to allow colleagues help direct the framing of the institute & change the planned agenda based on formative feedback.
