Designing Online Workshops: Using an Experiential Learning Model
Lynch, Sherry K.; Kogan, Lori R.
Journal of College Counseling, v7 n2 p170 Fall 2004
This article describes 4 online workshops designed to assist college students with improving their time management, textbook reading, memory and concentration, and overall academic performance. These workshops were created to work equally well with imaginative, analytic, common-sense, and dynamic learners. Positive student feedback indicated that these workshops met students' perceived needs and expectations. Computers have become an essential aspect of education. Because of the easy accessibility of computers and the high comfort and skill level most college students have with them, computers have become the first resource to which many students turn when seeking information. For these reasons, college counselors can use computers to efficiently and effectively provide information to many college students. This article describes four online study skills workshops: the rationale for their development, the Experiential Learning model theory used to design them, the application of this model to these workshops, the rate of usage, and the students' evaluation.
