Learning Theories that Underpin Quality Matters

Theories of learning underpin approaches to program development, as well as course development.   This roundtable will focus on the latter and will be an opportunity to discuss the learning theories in relation to the Quality Matters Rubric and peer review process.  Traditional learning theories, such as behaviorism/objectivism, cognitivism, and constructivism, as well as the more recent theories, such as connectivism.  We will also look at the emerging interdisciplinary field of the learning sciences.
