WELCOME

Dear ARP 631 Student:

Welcome to our course, Instructional Methods and Materials in Postsecondary Education. This course is offered for students enrolled in MA or MS programs throughout the campus. If you are interested in teaching in a community college, college or university, proprietary school, adult education program, or in a technical college, this course is for you!

In this class, we will learn; how to prepare for teaching, how students learn, effective interactive instructional practices, and how to evaluate student learning. This course should provide you with the tools to develop a powerful learning environment for any course, workshop, seminar, or training program you deliver.

Learning is often characterized as a "shared journey". We are now traveling this road together!

Best wishes for a successful learning experience,

Dr. William E. Piland
Professor of Education
