“Skeletons aren’t just for Halloween: Leveraging Skeletal Outlines to increase student engagement, focus, and accuracy while mastering complex content and developing better study skills.” (L, E, A, S, CRTP, ACUE)
During this workshop/presentation I’ll discuss why I started using skeletal outlines in my AP1 and 2 classes, the positive effect on student focus during lecture, and how it helps the students organize large amounts of complex material. The experiment was so successful that I’ve begun using skeletal outline creation as an active learning activity for the students where they create their own outlines and share with other students. Bring your enthusiasm and thinking cap, because I’m going to have a little exercise for everyone who attends.
