High-engagement learning
A longitudinal study at Cass Business School shows that in designing a course of study and a curriculum over a year, a semester, a week, a day or an hour, there is a need to choreograph the tempo and intensity of the learning experiences. However, 10 weeks packed full of high-engagement experiences might simply lead to burn-out, every bit as debilitating as 10 weeks of boredom resulting from pure transmission learning
Key findings:
Innovative curriculum design in the business school world is particularly seeking to achieve:
- Greater variety in the types of learning experience open to students, over all time periods from a year to an hour.
- A greater percentage of the time of students to be spent in high-engagement learning
- Diversity in learning methods. The Cass Hi-Tech/High Touch Framework offers such a menu of options.
