In this session, we look beyond the increasingly popular formats of flipped, blended, or massive online (MOOC) classes to consider new approaches for engaging students during face-to-face meetings.
Can devices be used more effectively during class while minimizing the distractions associated with a state of "continuous partial attention?" I will explain my evolving model for a more "manageable educational environment for collaboration" or MEEC. It may not be the perfect solution for all courses, but it may generate some new techniques to try in your class, regardless of class size. Facilitator: Ronald Yaros, Associate Professor of Journalism, University of Maryland.
