Raymond J. Wlodkowski & Margery B. Ginsberg 
Teaching Intensive and Accelerated Courses 
Instruction that Motivates Learning

In this comprehensive resource, Raymond J. Wlodkowski and Margery B. Ginsberg describe how to meet the challenge of teaching intensive and accelerated courses to nontraditional learners and working adults. By making motivation and cultural relevance essential to instruction, they clearly show what instructors can do to enhance learning in classes that can last from three to six hours. Teaching Intensive and Accelerated Courses makes full use of the authors’ twenty years of experience researching and teaching accelerated courses, along with selected strategies from Wlodkowski’s classic Enhancing Adult Motivation to Learn, to offer tried-and-true practices instructors can use to provide continuously engaging learning.
