• In Event: Making learning engaging
  In Roundtable Session: Making Learning Engaging-AECT

Short Description

The Elements of Instruction Group proposes that the basic elements of instruction—learner, facilitator, resources, and setting—can be combined into eight different configurations, comprising a typology that encompasses all of commonly used arrangements for teaching and learning in face-to-face instruction, in online instruction, and in every other type of organized instruction: Presentation, Demonstration, Whole-Class Discussion, Small-Group Discussion, Tutorial, Repetition, Study, and Expression.
