Episode 239 - Behavioral Instruction in Higher Education w/ Dr. Kendra Guinness

does this form of college course actually educate anyone? This week Dr. Kendra Guinness joins us to discuss the past, present, and future of behavioral instruction in teaching college courses. We review some of the classic forms of personalized systems of instruction before looking at how technology is (or perhaps isn't) pushing these tools into the classroom...and why everyone might not be excited with the results.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
