Course Redesign and Data Collection
Prior to participation in 4MAT training, each faculty’s learning
style was assessed using the Learning Type Measure or
LTM (About Learning 1994). The Teaching Style Inventory
or TSI (About Learning 2005) was also completed by each
faculty member at the beginning of this project to determine
each instructor’s individual 4MAT teaching style.
Upon completion of the 24-hour 4MAT training (summer
2007), each faculty member selected a course she or he taught
to redesign using the 4MAT teaching model for implementation
in the fall 2007 semester. Each faculty member was
paired with another project participant to provide ongoing
feedback during this process. Additionally, faculty met on a
monthly basis during the fall 2007 semester to plan, share
resources, and solve problems.
