Assessment: Using Classroom Research to Improve Teaching
Dr. John Newman
A wealth of information for the improvement of teaching is ordinarily
available as a result of normal educational activities. With some
relatively simple yet careful crafting, the value of this information can
be increased to a degree that permits a variety of uses, up to and
including basic research into disciplinary learning. Through participatory
exercises, this workshop will explore some of the possibilities and
potentials for collecting and interpreting what is there to be found in the
classroom.

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
This past fall MIT embarked on a series of laptop initiatives to explore different ways laptops might be used in MIT courses. Four different approaches were taken by faculty in teaching in course 1,2,4,and 8. What did the faculty teaching these courses experience? What goals did they have for the use of laptops and were they achieved? How were they used in and out of the class setting? Overall, how did the introduction of this technology affect how they taught, what they taught, and the flow of student-faculty interaction in these courses? Join us for an open discussion of the experiences of faculty teaching with laptops at MIT.
