How to use in a learning design

To incorporate the 'Expert Session' learning method into your next design, follow these steps. First, identify a subject matter expert (SME) relevant to the topic of study. Engage with the SME to outline key learning objectives, preferred teaching methods, and resources for the session. Next, schedule a live or virtual session where the educator facilitates a discussion or presentation led by the SME. Encourage the educator to prepare guiding questions to engage learners and foster interactive discussions throughout the session. During the session, encourage active participation from learners by asking questions, sharing insights, and seeking clarification from the SME. Provide opportunities for hands-on activities, case studies, or group discussions to deepen understanding and application of the concepts discussed. After the session, encourage learners to reflect on their learning experience and consolidate their knowledge through assignments, projects, or assessments aligned with the session's objectives. By following these steps, you can effectively integrate the 'Expert Session' learning method into your design to provide learners with valuable insights from industry experts while promoting interactive and engaging learning experiences.
