Creating lessons for higher education is a process that involves a lot of detailed thought.
Learning materials, such as books, presentations or general lesson plans, detail how teachers will convey ideas to students. Creating learning materials is a personal process that combines intuition and experience with scientific knowledge about how students learn. Additionally, it is a process that evolves and is subject to customization, because the methods that work for one group of students may not be effective for another. Likewise, some teachers can bring added depth and vitality to learning materials that may seem dull in another instructor's hands.
Instructions
1. Set the objectives. Decide what students should know and be able to accomplish as a result of your learning materials.
2. List the standards. Colleges and university systems have lists of learning standards that explain general concepts that students must master for each subject at each grade level. List the standards and show that they align with the objectives.
3. Decide present the material. Presentation will depend on the material, the students and the teacher's personality and level of expertise. Appeal to multiple learning styles by including some oral, some visual and some hands-on elements when presenting material to students.
4. Create assessments. Assessments are the tests and projects that students must complete to demonstrate that the objectives have been met.
5. List accommodations. Accommodations are changes that can be made to the learning materials in the events that physical or psychological challenges prevent students from learning as planned.
