    Brian Lukoff, a Technology & Education Postdoc Fellow working with Eric Mazur, just sent me this article which discusses their new ed tech startup Learning Catalytics.  It's the evolution of the Eric's clicker supported Peer Instruction.  I'm meeting with Brian and Eric on Tuesday to setup a TIE spring internship doing business development for Learning Catalytics.

    Interesting article. Dockterman speaks of Mazur all the time and it's nice to see the background.

    Great find. It touches on two topics I'm pursuing this semester- conceptual change and how formative assessments can improve learning. Eric Mazur's approach is fantastic. I wonder how what he does can be applied to K-12 teaching.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=lBYrKPoVFwg This is a video of Professor Mazur using this strategy. I'm currently taking a class where the professor uses a similar type of engagement method and I find that it is much more interesting and results in deeper understanding than a typical lecture method.

    Merseth. Do you agree with this characterization? Do you find that style effective?

    Thanks, Diana. I can use this article in two of my other classes.

    Great video - key quote "You can forget facts but you can't forget understandings." Yes - I would agree that Merseth and a number of other HGSE professors structure their courses for engagement in a similar manner. Requiring reading & active reflection (by via a written brief, case preparation, or online quiz) before the class / lecture is a great way to prep for deeper engagement and understanding. The genius in Mazur's approach is to use technology to assess before class and during class what his students understand and, more importantly, don't understand AND then tailor what he presents next to address misconceptions.
