Since a young age, we're all told that we must manage our time better if we wish to succeed. When tasked with having this discussion with adult learners as part of a design challenge from Fanshawe College, my main goal was to subvert the nagging narratives of time management and take a different approach: one that doesn't ask learners to start fresh, but to reflect on what works and equip them to understand and address what doesn't. Over 4 days' time, I created a module to do just that. After all, if the past approaches had worked, why would they need this in the first place?
And so, my desire to flip the script on time management guided my teaching approach, my pacing of content, my use assessment, and the rest of the module that can be seen below.
