The ILE pedagogy provides an approach for the instructor to present the method and process for each task within an object oriented methodology and then to test the student understanding before continuing to the next task. Keeps the class from moving on without all of the class understanding the material. Useful for teaching processes that rely on the correctness of understanding of the previous tasks. Alternatively, the method and process can be contained in the course materials that are distributed to the students along with a blank worksheet that contains part of the graphics required for the model. Alternatively, an individual or team can be asked to write their answer on the transparency.
Students perform the task immediately with feedback.
For adult learners immediate feedback is key to their understanding and confidence. A set of simple exercises has been used with the discussion of the one where the instructor observed the most difficulty.
