As you watch the video below, look out for these learning points:

• The 5 Learner-Centric Considerations include: prior experience, relevance, authenticity, engagement, and transfer
• The 5 Retention and Skill Development considerations include: moving from concrete to abstract, feedback, productive failure, scaffolding, and challenge

In this lesson, 10 principles are discussed for designing Interactive Learning Conversations. These principles are divided into two categories: Learner-Centric Considerations and Retention and Skill Development Considerations.

Learner-Centric Considerations include:

1. Prior experience: Build upon the learner's existing knowledge, skills, and abilities.
2. Relevance: Ensure the learning conversations are meaningful and applicable to the learner.
3. Authenticity: Create experiences that mirror real-world situations and goals.
4. Engagement: Develop interesting and captivating interactive conversations.
5. Transfer: Design conversations that help learners apply their knowledge to new situations.

Retention and Skill Development Considerations include:

1. Concrete to abstract: Start with didactic lessons, then move on to application and practice.
2. Formative Feedback: Determine the type, timing, and format of feedback provided to learners.
3. Productive Failure: Encourage learners to learn from their mistakes and try again.
4. Scaffolding: Consider how you “chunk” content and provide learners with support.
5. Challenge: Design for an appropriate level of difficulty, staying within the zone of proximal development.
