  • Using the Lecture Recordings+ active learning tools to promote student engagement in large group teaching sessions

    Presented by Dr Cristan Herbert, Senior Lecturer, School of Medical Sciences and Professor Gary Velan, Associate Dean (Education) in Medicine, Scientia Education Fellow, Faculty of Medicine
    Using the Lecture Recordings+ active learning tools to promote student engagement in large group teaching sessions

    Getting students to attend large-group teaching sessions and keeping them engaged throughout is a particular challenge. To achieve these goals for introductory Pathology courses for Medical Science and Exercise Physiology students (PATH2201/2202), we introduced a blended approach to learning, with overview lectures supported by online modules. We also developed large-group feedback/integration sessions which featured in-class questions to which students could respond using mobile devices. Since their introduction in 2015, attendance at these sessions has been consistently high and they are frequently praised in student feedback. Interactive questions are just one of the active learning tools which are now available to academics at UNSW via Lecture Recordings+. This presentation will outline the active learning tools available via the Lecture Recordings+ service and how we have successfully used these to promote engagement and enhance the learning experience for students in large undergraduate courses.

    Please bring a laptop or smartphone device to fully engage in this session.
