Learning in Organizations

3 credits · Peabody College - Professional

This course considers how to design learning environments and instruction so that learners use what they learn in appropriate new contexts. Leadership in organizations is about helping people become effective in achieving personal and organizational goals; it is at foundation about facilitating learning that matters - learning that shapes behavior. In this course we will explore some of what is known about learning and instruction that addresses this challenge. You will have the chance to master and apply the fundamentals of learning and instruction to your own area of interest. And you will have a chance working in teams and alone to identify and pursue related questions that are of particular interest to you. The course will build upon the diverse perspectives that students from varied professional backgrounds bring to the class. We will all be rich resources for each other.
