Good instructional design is based on a solid understanding of how people learn.  Recent research on this topic, including how intelligent novices become experts, suggests that many of our traditional teaching models often fail to develop “transfer” - the ability to use newly gained knowledge to solve novel problems across varied domains.

The heart of the AMIGO3 teaching design methodology is the concept of creating skilled life-long learners, regardless of the discipline being taught.  AMIGO3 strives to make the learning process visible to each learner and enables learners to actively develop their metacognitive assessment and strategies.

In this workshop we will:

• Explore the AMIGO3 model with workshop participants taking on the role of active learners.
• Review the “How People Learn” framework upon which AMIGO3 is based.
• Practice designing AMIGO3 modules that might be applicable to each participants teaching domain.
