Using Technology to Engage Students - Sponsored by Turning Technologies, An EDUCAUSE Bronze Partner

Monday, February 14, 2011 | 2:00PM–3:10PM | IBR Center
Session Type: Professional Development
It has been suggested that the lack of interaction in large lecture courses is to blame for the many problems facing these courses: declining enrollments, low attendance, poor evaluations, and disappointing retention. We offer a way of redesigning the classroom so that interaction is introduced in many aspects of the course. This approach has shown to be effective by many instructors in a broad variety of environments. In this session, some of the tools we have developed to foster this interaction will be demonstrated.


As a courtesy to all attendees, please limit your mobile devices usage in the ballroom so bandwidth is not exceeded.
