Master Adaptive Learners: Background and Practical Application

In this webinar, content experts will provide background information on the topic of adaptive expertise, the Master Adaptive Learner (MAL) Framework, and how it can be employed to build adaptive experts. We will discuss the different phases of the MAL Framework and provide actionable items learners and educators can use to encourage the development of successful skill-building across the phases. Finally, we will discuss the interplay of the learning environment and how various features can both positively and negatively affect learners and their successful development of skills across the MAL Framework.
