Notes to Facilitator

The purpose of this lecture is to provide an overview and position Didactic teaching methods in contrast to other methodologies. Didactic teaching, however, needs to be the focus as Constructivist and other methods will be covered in detail later in Knowledge Deepening. Learners need to be aware that they will in all likelihood use multiple methods in their teaching and ICT can be employed to support each method.
