Methods of Learning

Wed, 18 Sep 2013 14:54:33 +0000

The DRSA is a huge fan of “Dance Your PhD”. We have been following the competition since when we first heard of it back in the fall of 2008.

Dance Your PhD is another example of how to teach using different learning models and methods. Experiential learning and blended learning are the two methods used by the DRSA. The founder, John Bohannon recently gave a TED talk on his method – dance.

Get a coffee, sit down, and take 11 minutes to watch. It is well worth the time.

“Bad PowerPoint presentations are a serious threat to the global economy” – John Bohannon
