Course Design
Learning Design
"Spiraled curriculum": content intentionally repeats
(but at a higher level/stage each time). Facilitates content retention through:
-
Connections: easier to make connections when content continues to "repeat" or "spiral" through itself
-
Spaced repetition: adult learners need to learn the same information multiple times, in multiple contexts, with increasingly difficult applications, for it to best stick
-
Interleaving: mixing content or introducing a concept and then going back to it much later with other content taught in between, best enhances recall (most similar real life!)
