Abstract

Faculty face a number of challenges in the classroom when delivering course material. The challenges include student ways of learning, student sense making of the material, and cognitive load in the minds of the students as they try to integrate the course with what they know and what they need to learn. An instructor’s style is also a major ingredient in delivering course material. Communication science combined with Distance Magnitude Estimation (DME) can be a tool for faculty in working with these and other challenges. The article presents an actual DME based map and then illustrates how the map can be incorporated into building a course and refining its delivery. The article also shows how the DME map can add to assessment of student learning.
