ATW: Promoting Peer Learning through Technology

Event Description 

In addition to typical pedagogical techniques such as Bloom’s taxonomy and Universal Design for Learning, modern technological tools allow instructors to boost student engagement in the classroom in a variety of ways. Technology can be leveraged to promote peer-to-peer dialogue and foster a classroom environment in which students work together to construct knowledge. This ATW will focus on strategies, such as the flipped classroom and a variety of platforms including the Google Suite, Zoom and Canvas, to facilitate peer learning and real-time feedback in the classroom through the directed use of technology.

This ATW counts toward the Poorvu Center’s Certificate of College Teaching Preparation (CCTP) requirement for a “topic engaging technology.
