Creating self directed learners
This document discusses creating self-directed learners. It outlines 4 types of learners and instructors: dependent learner-authority expert, interested learner-motivator, involved learner-facilitator, and self-directed learner-consultant. The session overview discusses determining background knowledge, key concepts, how it works, and a question and answer period. It then provides more details on the characteristics of each learner-instructor pairing, with the goal of transitioning students from dependent to self-directed learners over multiple courses.
