Abstract:
Technology is ever changing and students are ahead of lecturers in this area. This session will demonstrate two technological tools that can be used in large group settings. The exercises within the session will show participants how students can be targeted to see maximum outcomes. These exercises are used in the graduate setting but could be translated to undergraduate as well. Currently, the students using these technologies in the classroom are in a traditional team based learning classroom with mostly English as a second language learners. Application of these tools in the classroom can be within any course and over a variety of content areas as it can be customised for other use. Designing effective and engaging assessments is not an easy task – these tools can help with that process as well. The session connects to the large group teaching theme, in particular: o Designing effective and engaging assessments; o Managing behaviour in large groups compared to small; o Identifying, integrating, or abandoning, technological supports to aid large group teaching.
