Spring 2024 Presentations
Video (55 min)		Self-Directed Learning Modules to Improve Student Performance In and Beyond STEM Disciplines Tao Xing, Ph.D, P.E., Professor, Mechanical Engineering GenZ students (ages 17-22) are more self-paced, self-directed, and independent, with freedom of what/how they learn. Previous studies have shown that a positive relationship exists between engineering students' self-directed learning abilities and online learning experience. Our research demonstrates the impact of self-directed learning modules on student success. We will share key design elements that make such modules effective, and strategies for fostering innovation at the intersection of teaching, learning, and scholarship. Please join Dr. Tao Xing who is presenting this Faculty Spotlight with his cohorts Dr. Steve Beyerlein, Dr. John Crepeau, and Dr. Sean Quallen.
