Have you ever wanted more class time for students to apply their knowledge? Would you like students to spend class time discussing and tackling difficult problems, researching, collaborating, or creating? Then why not explore a variety of approaches requiring students to learn course content before coming to class? This session will present an overview of pedagogical approaches such as team-based learning, peer instruction, problem-based learning, lecture capture, just-in-time teaching, and group quizzes with immediate feedback. All these methods involve flipping the classroom to various degrees, thus providing class time for students to deepen and apply their learning. The demonstrated pedagogies range from high-tech to low-tech, but they all shift more responsibility for learning to the student and provide them with additional opportunities for active and collaborative work as they learn.

Presented by Sue McMillen as part of the 2012 Pedagogical Institute on Wednesday, May 23, from 9:00 a.m. to noon in Bacon Hall 117.
