How can you engage your students and be sure they are learning the conceptual foundations of a lecture course? In From Questions to Concepts, Harvard University Professor Eric Mazur introduces Peer Instruction and Just-in-Time teaching -- two innovative techniques for lectures that use in-class discussion and immediate feedback to improve student learning. Using these techniques in his innovative undergraduate physics course, Mazur demonstrates how lectures and active learning can be successfully combined. This video is also available as part of another DVD, Interactive Teaching, which contains advice on using peer instruction and just-in-time teaching to promote better learning.

A space separates words and makes them into individual tags. You might have a look at how your resources are tagged and edit them by clicking on "bookmark" and revising your tags. See also Diigo help for how to tag. You are missing the "setonhall" or setonhall15 tags for this assignment on this post but have it on others so folks can't search for and find your contributions. You might want to make the tags consistent for your own use too as when you do a search for setonhall it won't necessarily find your items tagged setonhallteaching or setonhall15. Consistent tagging will make life easier. See assignment 2 instructions.
