Description

Students of all ages are attracted to the character of Sherlock Holmes. How can this curiosity be harnessed into active learning experiences in a course structure? Drake University Professor Michael Couvillon and Professor/Library Dean Emeritus Rod Henshaw draw on their experience teaching courses for both first-year college students and for older adults to demonstrate how Holmes' and Watson's methods can be translated into four life-long learning skills: Interaction, Introspection, lntercultural Awareness, and Information Literacy. Participate in active learning exercises that demonstrate Sherlock's methods and serve as springboards for acquiring learning skills; learn proven techniques for use of media, library materials, and other resources; and gain insight into generating joy in the learning experience.
