Workshop Overview
 |
|
This workshop will provide a short hands-on experience with
Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT), a web-based pedagogy pioneered as a
collaborative effort of physics faculty Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and at the United States Air Force Academy.
JiTT pedagogy exploits an interaction between web-based study and an active learner classroom. Students respond electronically to carefully constructed web-based assignments, and the instructor reads the student submissions "just-in-time" to adjust the lesson content and activities to suit the students' needs. |
Workshop Philosophy and Goals
|
We believe in the active learner approach.
In this workshop, we provide samples of web lesson materials for you to examine and discuss.
We hope you'll leave the workshop having thought about and explored questions like:
