Engaging Learners

When writing to engage learners, consider both addressing a variety of learning styles (Audio, visual, kinesthetic) and how the content lends itself to being taught. Remember to follow Universal Design for Learning practices. The format of the product will also influence engagement strategies.

Strategies for Engaging Learners

• Meaningful discussion and reflection in small and large groups
• Relevant hands-on activities
• Polls and surveys
• Quizzes and knowledge checks
• Scenarios and case studies to apply learning.
• Use media strategically.
• Opportunities to practice learning.
• Multi-media interactives
