  • Online using Zoom

Registration

Registration is closed

Duration: 90-minute workshop

About the workshop: 

Are you optimizing your engagement and outcomes in your workshops? Adults bring significant insights, experiences, and connections from prior learning to new learning opportunities. The Learner Variability Navigator (LVN) is designed to help you leverage the different factors that can impact adult learners and provide research-based strategies to support them. Join us to learn how two veteran educators use this free tool to design creative and engaging learning experiences for adults. We will show you how to use the LVN, reflect on your own learner variability, discuss a case study, and then provide an opportunity for you to try yourself.

Learning Objectives 

In this session, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the meaning of “learner variability”
  • Learn how to use the Learner Variability Navigator (LVN) to support facilitation and planning
  • Apply the LVN to a sample scenario
NOTE: This workshop will be recorded for distribution to all who register (breakout rooms will not be recorded).

This is a 90-minute workshop. It will take place from 12:00pm - 1:30pm EDT.
