Building on the foundation of work from previous years, in 2019 the Expert Learner Seminar Series (ELSS) was launched in blended learning mode at CityU. The aim of ELSS is to help new university students achieve their academic potential, while blended learning aims to offer students a combination of 1) face-to-face teaching and learning, as well as 2) on-line learning.
The series was held approximately over the first six weeks of Semester A, 2019. A one-hour, face-to-face seminar was held the first week. The first seminar provided an overview of expert learning and an introduction to the topics which students would study in the series. Students also completed the Learning and Studies Strategy Inventory (LASSI) in the first session. During weeks two through six, students took part in four, on-line, video-based seminars on learning and study strategies using Canvas as a platform. In the final week, students met again in a face-to-face seminar for a summary and conclusion of the series and to re-take LASSI. A total of 99 first-year undergraduate students completed the seminars, including the pre- and post- LASSI. Results of the pre- and post- LASSI will be presented in the poster.
