Brain-Based Learning in the Virtual Classroom (TU418)
Speaker: Cynthia Clay
What if the training courses you deliver in the virtual classroom were so vibrant and compelling that people clamored to attend your sessions? Your ability to connect with, engage with, and stimulate the thinking of your participants is directly linked to your understanding of the neuroscience of learning. Our brains ignore what is predictable and boring. This session explores the brain's needs for novelty, contrast, meaning, and emotion to capture and keep your participants' attention online. Increase novelty with the creative use of relevant games. Enhance contrast by incorporating a variety of facilitation techniques. Build meaningful connections with collaborative learning approaches. Harness emotion with storytelling frames. Explore six brain-based guidelines that leverage the interaction and collaboration tools in the virtual classroom.
