Midsemester in college - ask via an anonymous survey - What do you like: most about the course, least about the course, to change about the course. @facultyfocus@chronicle
Simplicity may help you to take a STEM course online; I did not say efficient.
1) Make an audio PPT if you were mostly lecturing which is the case for most of us. Put it as a PPSX file so that students can watch it on a mobile phone as well and do not need MS Office.
Underrepresented college students benefit more from ‘active learning’ techniques in STEM courses https://t.co/m6DODcohsq switching from traditional lectures to “active learning” methods has a disproportionate benefit for underrep students. @NSF_EHR @NSF@ASEE_DC@TCFdotorg
The full paper Active learning narrows achievement gaps for underrepresented students in undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and math is in PNAS https://t.co/3pWB19qIId @theNAEng@theNASciences#ActiveLearning#STEM

Teaching While Introverted https://t.co/ST1LPNN0il @susancain@livequiet "But ask me to problematize, hypothesize, research, and reflect? Give me a homework assignment? Yes. Yes, please." @GeekyPedagogy
Why We Must Get Back to Basics in Teaching Composition https://t.co/2C15sGD1ev "To achieve true mastery in any area requires you first to imitate, then innovate"
How to Make Your Teaching More Engaging https://t.co/oz4SnYuY06 "Some teachers are naturally compelling and intuitively spark a zest for learning in students. But most of us have to work at it." should be "ALL of us have to work at it"
The new Innovation Institute brings @Jabil employees together w/faculty and students from @USFMuma, @EngineeringUSF, and @USFResearch.
I'll have more on the Institute on next week's University Beat on @wusf.
