The Feynman Technique is the approach I use for communicating and writing. It was originally designed as a learning technique, but my approach to effective writing and speaking is to thoroughly learn the topic I'm writing and speaking about. I know, crazy thought, right? The link below has the details for you to read but here are the four essential steps to the Feynman Learning Technique: 1.

Organize and simplify. 4. Communicate/Transmit (optional). https://lnkd.in/gmyp86Sy

#Teaching complex #theories in a simple, #practical way for the students is a challenge. Thus, #teachingcases is one of the most excellent solutions. For the first time, there is a possibility to #practice #writing #mini-#cases that can be used to #activate #discussions in the #crosscultural classroom without having #students read the material in advance. In the #professionaldevelopment #workshop organized by Karen Lynden and the Academy of International Business (AIB) Teaching & Education SIG's team, you will learn: - Foundations of Teaching Case Writing (insights by Marleen Dieleman 马琳) - How to write and use Mini-#IB cases (insights by Miguel Cordova) - How to work with companies when writing a teaching case from the primary data (insights by Ausrine Silenskyte) and will have an excellent chance to network and find case writing #collaboration #partners. The #PDW is organized as a part of the #AIB2023 pre-#conference program and registration is open until May 1: https://lnkd.in/d3GSXfk4 More news on the #events and #activities that promote #teachingexcellence and #research on #education in the areas of #internationalbusiness and #internationalmanagement to follow on the AIB T&E SIG's LinkedIn page - Academy of International Business (AIB) Teaching & Education SIG.

I've been thinking a lot about the difference between pedagogy and tools for teaching writing in the classroom. The tools for verifying and assessing writing have been disrupted and the response by educators has been varied: reverting to in-classroom writing, adopting bluebooks, etc. At Cursive Technology, Inc, we're interested in providing tools that support both existing and new pedagogies by starting with authorship. We know that good writing instruction still takes time, and focuses on opportunities for editing, reading, and feedback.
