Unlock Powerful Teaching and Assessment Design

One of Velg Training's most engaging presenters, Tony Kirton, has cracked the code on proven strategies to enhance your every day practices.

By understanding the theories relating to working memory, assessment design and retrieval practices, you will be able to discover and apply the most powerful teaching and assessment design strategies.

Firstly, we need to understand the limitations of working memory and why this must be considered in any approach to instructional design. Cognitive Load Theory is the 'bread and butter' for today's instructional or assessment designer and will aid in maximising your students' engagement.

Next, we need to ensure our assessment tools are well-designed... and compliant. We want to strongly influence our students' experience and move beyond compliance by focusing on effective assessment instructions and writing great assessment questions.

Lastly, promoting retention and recall via Retrieval Practice can lead to improved assessment results and increased satisfaction ratings. This 'must do' learning strategy is easy to implement with low design costs.

If you want to boost the quality of student interaction, recollection and engagement with the training and assessment you provide you can join Tony on 28 May to commence his brand new three-part webinar series and unlock these strategies to maximise your own training and assessment.
