Teach Students How To Learn: Metacognition Is The Key
On-Demand Training
Participants will take away metacognitive learning strategies that can change students’ paradigms about what learning entails and motivate them to implement actions that will significantly improve test performance and self-motivation. Additionally, participants will learn how implementing effective learning strategies can increase the self-efficacy of students who have become discouraged due to earlier failures.
This webinar will address the challenge that faculty and learning center personnel face trying to convert students who have been good at memorizing and regurgitating information into critical thinkers who can solve complex problems. It will also address the challenge of getting students to invest the appropriate amount of time and effort into their studying.
Today’s students enter college with widely varying academic skills, interests, and motivation levels. Faculty lament that students are focused on grades, but do not want to spend time actively engaged in the learning process. Most students think that memorizing information is tantamount to learning the material, and spend considerably less time studying than is commensurate with their grade expectations.
This webinar on effective metacognitive learning strategies is designed to help faculty, learning center professionals, and student affairs personnel develop techniques to help students become independent, self-directed learners. A discussion of the characteristics of today’s students will help participants understand why many students lack effective learning strategies when they enroll in college, and how simple it is to teach them strategies for successful learning. Reflection and think-pair-share activities will introduce participants to cognitive science research-based methods that can be used to improve teaching and learning. The webinar will provide a variety of strategies that have proven successful in helping students experience meaningful, transferable learning.
- Learn the characteristics of many of today’s learners
- Examine what the cognitive science research indicates about how people learn
- Discover metacognitive learning strategies that work
- Understand the effect of student mindset on learning outcomes
- Administration
- Faculty
- Online Learning

Funding is a little tight, how many workshops can I get for $XX?
You can buy the entire StudentLingo package (50 workshops) or we offer several a la carte options. Unlike a lot of other software companies, we don’t charge per user, so we can work with any budget. We recommend talking to other departments on campus to increase your purchasing power and to share the cost. Also, we do have a pay model whereby students pay directly.

How have other schools leveraged reporting?
- One of our partners, College of Southern Nevada, used StudentLingo to measure learning outcomes. in a study, one class had access to StudentLingo and the other cohort did not. 92% of the cohort with access to StudentLingo earned a whole letter grade higher than the cohort without StudentLingo.
- A lot of our partners use the data to justify funding for grants, operating dollars, or for new program development.
- The evaluation data is particularly useful in identifying what type of learning students prefer and the qualitative takeaways from viewing the workshop.
- Some of our partners use the data to connect with their student information system, like Banner or Peoplesoft.
- I think a great way to get started on how you want to use the data is to ask yourself some questions:
- How will I know if StudentLingo was successful?
- What do I hope students will gain from access to StudentLingo?
- What data is important for me to know in order to show that StudentLingo is a worthwhile purchase?
