OTL301 – Post 3

I have designed several courses as a safety consultant, including a course in due diligence.  The stated learning outcomes for the course included:

  • Raise awareness of what constitutes due diligence
  • Raise awareness of the requirements for due diligence

To achieve the overall outcomes, several secondary outcomes were also stated, including:

  • identification of mechanisms in place within the student’s organization to facilitate due diligence
  • prove (or disprove) due diligence for a scenario

Learning activities included:

  • looking up relevant safety legislation
  • comparing company requirements to regulatory requirements
  • using a scenario and learnings from the 2 previous activities to prove (or disprove) due diligence for a scenario

 

Learning Activity Strategy #2

Activity: Relate the topic to a real world experience

Encourage students to reflect on their own experiences and relate them to the topic in the course.  I may provide my own examples to get things going.  Although much easier in person or in the classroom setting, I’ve used this technique to help students relate to the topic.

Next steps:  I will use this when students have questions or as seeking clarification.
