3 | The discussion-oriented approach employed here generally applies the principles expressed in the so-called __andragogy approach to adult learning__ https://digital.library.txstate.edu/bitstream/handle/10877/3580/fulltext.pdf?sequence=1 originally introduced to adult learning in Germany in the early 1800s and __elsewhere since then.__ http://www.ncolr.org/jiol/issues/pdf/6.2.3.pdf The present course design adapts elements of the case-method (originating in the late 1800s at Harvard Law School) and the problem-method (originating in the 1940s at McMaster Medical School) of learning. Therefore we assume that anyone designing and delivering a course based on this syllabus will be serving as a short-term __coach__ who is accountable to design a program for the particular needs and learning styles of the client team. This coaching role differs from __instructors/lecturers__ teaching __students/attendees__. A coach must design and deliver conditions for self-motivated learning to occur in alignment with the team's priorities, preferences, time and budget. Ahead of tailoring the course, a learning coach might consider conducting a quick online survey with the planned participants to help gauge their particular needs and preferences, both as a team, and as individual professionals. | ||

5 | Learning outcomes are envisioned in terms of two week, two month and two year time horizons: "Have they acquired information or made decisions that will change their professional behavior? How will they synthesize two years from now the words of wisdom they heard in the seminar?" [[(Abadzi,H. 1990.
