Session Details
According to Paul Hanstedt, author of Creating Wicked Students: Designing Courses for a Complex World, the purpose of learning is to help students navigate a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous workspace. Dr. Brantley has created a training and development model based on Dr. Sternberg's Triarchic Mind theory and drawing from Dr. Hanstedt’s work along with Dr. Fink (Creating Significant Learning Experiences), Dr. Bloom (Bloom’s Taxonomy), and Dr. Bowen (Teaching Naked) insights. This training and development model is unique in combining the flipped classroom model with the Universal Design for Learning to create learner-centered activities and lessons for greater engagement and knowledge retention.
Having been an adjunct professor for twenty years and a trainer for over ten years, Dr. Brantley has experimented with many learning and training methods and techniques, from blended learning to microlearning to gamification. Over this time, he has selected the best parts of these learning and training innovations to devise an instructional system design and facilitation model. During the presentation, he will describe the structure of the model and how to create a course or training program using the model. The value of this model is in preparing learners to adapt to a VUCA world by building their “successful intelligence.”
