      .   This particular strategy would be most appropriate for adult learners who have not had success in previous academic endeavors. GED classes, Workforce development training, and Worker re-entry classes are some instances direct strategies would have an impact. Special needs students do well with this type of instruction. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;">

 * <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Summary of strategy **<span style="color: #292526; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">. Some of the components of this instructional strategy are. Strategies are <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">thoughts or behaviors that individuals use to understand, learn, or remember new information. Different strategies work for different types of content. (i.e. Reading, math, social skills)
 * 1) <span style="color: #292526; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">A clear explanation of what the strategy is and why it is useful.
 * 2) <span style="color: #292526; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Demonstrate of the strategy being taught using practical examples with tools such and visual prompts. This could be done by a teacher, a peer, or on a computer.
 * 3) <span style="color: #292526; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Presentation is sequential.
 * 4) <span style="color: #292526; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Incorporate student practice of the strategy.
 * 5) <span style="color: #292526; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Provide guidance the first time the student attempts practicing the strategy
 * 6) <span style="color: #292526; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Give specific feedback.
 * 7) <span style="color: #292526; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">The clear objective is appropriate and effective use of the strategy being taught.
 * 8) <span style="color: #292526; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Repeat the process of practice and feedback until the objective is obtained.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Name of strategy: **<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Andragogy

 * <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Summary of strategy: **<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Andragogy is a theory for adult learning based the fact that adults are independent and responsible for their actions. The strategy for teaching adults is different than the strategy for teaching children. Adult learners have knowledge and experience that they want taken into consideration in their learning activities. <span style="color: #292526; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Adult learners learn best when they understand why the content will be useful and that it will be meaningful to them personally or vocationally.

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">The growing popularity of online learning demonstrates that many adult learners independent and wants more self direction and responsibility for their own learning experiences. Problem based learning, reflective activities, case studies, and forums are a few tools which can be used in to engage and facilitate learning for adult learners. I intend to use and this understanding to develop engaging learning activities in the online course I am developing for CED 592. I want to find ways to include the students in directing some aspect of the collaborative activities of the class so that they are more authentic. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Peer partner learning is a collaborative experience in which students learn from and with each other. Students take review material by helping peers to learn and, at the same time, develop and sharpen their collaborative skills. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">I’d like to adapt this concept to an online environment for adult learners. Creating an online course which has the feel of a face to face class will require different levels of collaborative projects. This strategy can be used to create an activity which pairs students to do peer reviews of some of each others’ final drafts of assigned work before submission. This will not be a medium for challenging opinions and ideas, but for relating the assignment to the course content and the assignment rubric. Guidelines for generating constructive reviews will be provided. Both partners should emerge from the process with an increased understanding of the covered material. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;">

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Think-Pair-Share is a strategy designed to provide students with time to think about a given topic, discuss it with a partner, and share the results of the process with the group. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Many of my reflections are with regard to online learning. Since I am creating an online course for adults, I am looking at each of these strategies from that perspective. Think, Pair Share can be adapted to Discussion Board Forums. Since collaboration is considered a very important component of the learning process, students can be paired and allowed to discuss a given topic before creating a post to the forum. This is very similar to the Peer Partner activity. The difference is that the result of the work is posted to a public forum. The process should give participants more confidence in the comments they intend to post. It is also an opportunity to build relationships between students. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Structured controversy is similar to a debate. A problem is selected; background information is providing, students are asked, as groups, to construct an argument based on this information. Opposing arguments are presented. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Again, I selected another instructional strategy that I believe can be used in an adult online learning environment to add variety to discussion forums. Creating groups which each work together to construct their assigned argument using a collaborative tool an post on a group page. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Nominal Group Technique, or NGT, is a //<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">weighted ranking //<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">method that enables a group to generate and prioritize a large number of issues within a structure that gives everyone an equal voice. The tool is called //<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">nominal //<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">because there is limited interaction between members of the group during the NGT process. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;">

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">This seems like a good strategy to use to help online students working in groups brainstorm and make decisions. One of the assignments I am trying to implement is on where a group has to determine the 10 most important usability practices of web design. This strategy will help the group select the most create the list and choose the top ten. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">People learn via two principal methods: linguistic and nonlinguistic. Reading and hearing lectures are linguistic. Visual imagery, kinesthetic, and models are examples of nonlinguistic representations. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Presenting concepts using non linguistic techniques will reinforce content presented in reading and lectures. Diagrams, graphic organizers, online or video demonstrations and digital models can be used as part of online classes. Having students present using nonlinguistic representations is a way of having them demonstrate a grasp of concepts. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Present an overview of a course or topic. Since adults learn more when they see how the content will be useful, an overview satisfies this need. Break the topic or course down into parts. Finally use a project or other type of assignment to demonstrate ability to apply all of the concepts. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 160%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">The topic summary is self explanatory. This strategy can be used to design computer training courses. Application software and programming languages are examples of topics that this strategy can be used to teach. Present a unit overview, teach the parts, apply the parts to the whole unit using project style assignments. I am designing a Dreamweaver online course and this style of designing and teaching will make the course practical and predictable for the students.
