Raymond A. Mason School of Business Events

Location

Dr. Elina Ibrayeva, an Associate Professor of Practice at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Department of Management, is going to discuss effective course design for online graduate classes including several best teaching practices identified by learning science (application, deep processing, transfer of learning, multimedia, repeated practice, student research, and integration). Participants will be asked to identify which best learning practices are embedded in Elina’s several assignments in online GRBA814 Applied Organizational Behavior class. Helpful hint: some assignments can use several best learning practices at the same time!
