Describe a high-structure course design model and why it leads to better learning outcomes for all students.
Identify ways that lesson-level learning objectives and study skills training can support underprepared students.
Connect different parts of the Codon Learning platform with the evidence-based practices they support, including high-structure course design and self-regulated learning strategies such as metacognition, spacing, and self-testing.
Part 1 — High-Structure Course Design and Its Impact on Learning Outcomes, Scott Freeman, PhD (University of Washington)
