Get an overview of current educational principles and practices to consider when teaching learners in the health professions. Medical librarians have considerable experience with informal, ad hoc teaching, but few have had formal training in educational principles and practices. This class will allow you to take on more formal teaching roles, by teaching the principles of learning theory and instructional design as well as skills with which to confidently develop educational objectives and assignments that can be assessed objectively.
