Frequent student presentations in a technology-enhanced classroom (Walker 1330)
Susan Gentry
Description
An interactive classroom, Walker 1330, was leveraged to provide frequent formative feedback on quarter-long group projects in an upper-division engineering course. Student groups would periodically present “update presentations” on the status of their group project to date to an audience of their peers and a member of the instructional team (instructor, teaching assistant, or learning assistant). The presenter will share about the capabilities of the room as well as her insights and lessons learned.
