Learn about:
• lecture capture
• online interactive assignments and problem solving
• online adaptive learning
• the statistics behind Danaè’s success

2. Traditional Classroom Approach
• In-class: predominantly “live” lecture
o Instructor-centered
o Concept introduction
• Out-of-class: reading, problem-solving and
critical thinking exercises

3. “Flipped Classroom” Approach

• Get feedback
– Ex: Titles
• Tegrity
– Screen-capturing software with edit feature
– Slide Example
– Solving Problems

6. Motivating Out-of-Class
Accountability
• Communicate Learning Goals
– Consistently
• Demonstrate how learning tools should be used
– Learning module videos
• Assign responses to videos
• Require assignments --- deadline timing
– Connect Homework
– LearnSmart
• In-class assessments of learning objectives
– Survey tools (ex: poll everywhere, “Clickers”)
– Quizzes or exams

7. Utilization of In-Class Time
• Reinforce and/or clarify identified Learning
Objectives
– LearnSmart Reports
– Survey responses
• Application-based Learning Activities
– Individual
– Teams
