Students Giving You the
Silent Treatment?
A webinar event unveils how one University of Michigan professor
increased class participation by 66% through the power of active
learning.
December 13, 2012
at 2 PM EST (US)
Picture this...a large lecture hall where one professor stands in front
of hundreds of students lecturing. Most of the students are looking at
laptops or mobile devices. At first glance, it appears that they aren’t
paying attention.
This lecture hall is at the University
of Michigan and the professor is Dr. Perry Samson,
founder of LectureTools,
the newest addition to the Echo360
Active Learning Platform. And while the students appear
to be distracted by technology, they are actually doing something not
quite visible to the naked eye. They are participating.
In the age of active learning, interaction is the name of the game.
According to Dr. Samson, “if you give students the opportunity to
participate they will”.
