Title: Teaching Naked Techniques: Practical Workshops on Designing Better Classes
Practical and active workshops for all faculty that distills the latest research on how students learn tested techniques and best practices that work. Decades of research have brought an explosion of knowledge about how human evolution has shaped the way we process, think, and remember. Technology also provides new ways for students to receive first contact with material, enhanced opportunities to connect and create community, better ways to ensure that students are prepared for class, and new options for the sequence of learning encounters and activities. Teaching is largely a design problem, and we need to design our classes for the brain in the body.
Workshop 1: Designing Homework Students Will Do
- clarify your design problem (for a specific section of your course)
- identify discipline-specific online content
- find an appropriate entry point and write conditional instructions
- formulate pre-class test questions using Bloom's levels
Workshop 2: Designing Classes Students Will Attend
- create an assignment as class preparation
- develop class activities as extensions and applications
- customize a cognitive wrapper
