Bring Your Best Idea: (Re-)Engaging Students to Maximize Their Potential for Learning √ §

What can we do to get students in the door of the classroom? What can we do to get them to log in and turn on their cameras in online classes? Once we’ve got them “in the room,” how can we get and keep their attention so that they engage with the material, participate actively in discussions, and prepare for and succeed in exams and on assignments?

For Bring Your Best Idea sessions, we (locally) crowdsource answers to questions such as these. Please bring your best ideas to this lively, collaborative, and fast-paced sharing session. Anyone who has an idea to share with the whole group will have two minutes to describe it. No slides please, though a link to a handout is welcome. After 20-30 minutes of sharing ideas, we’ll shift to Q&A and discussion. Whether or not you bring an idea to share, you’ll leave this session with new food for thought and several new ideas you might try in your own course.
