Catalyzing learning using peer instruction and learning catalytics
from Nouveautés
Workshop avec le prof. Eric MAZUR, Harvard University (UNIL - HESSO - SFDN) Most -- if not all -- of the important skills in our lives are acquired outside the traditional classroom setting. Yet we continue to teach using lectures where students passively take down information. Peer instruction is a research-based pedagogy that actively engages students in the classroom and has been shown to dramatically improve conceptual understanding, even in large classes. While successfully implementing peer instruction doesn't require any technology, using the right technology can improve student engagement, increase learning, and make it easier to implement peer instruction in your classroom. In this workshop you will learn how to use Learning Catalytics -- a web-based technology -- to bring peer instruction to your students.
