Identifying student characteristics for the purpose of adapting learning design

6. What after the analysis?

The results of this analysis will serve as a basis for:

• selecting and adapting teaching methods (e.g., lectures, workshops, project work)
• aligning learning and teaching activities with the students’ prior knowledge levels
• introducing elements of student support (e.g., additional resources, teaching assistants)
• applying an inclusive approach to teaching
• creating an inclusive learning design for the course.

Note

There is no need for an exhaustive analysis – the goal is to gain a general overview that will help you improve the learning design and implementation of your course in accordance with the specific needs of your students.
