Creating Environments For Deep Learning
“This campus-wide initiative helps students to discover how to learn more deeply,” said LDSBC President Bruce C. Kusch. “One pattern for deep learning, called subject matter immersion (SMI), creates an environment in which the student is immersed, covered and surrounded by the course content rather than merely being presented with it by the instructor. Assignments revolve around real-life challenges, including tasks they will face in the workplace. Students are responsible for defining how they demonstrate subject mastery, thus improving their leadership and problem-solving capabilities.”
