Share your Teaching Strategies

Are you currently “flipping” your classes?  How do you ensure that students do the work before coming to class?  Please send your strategies to itd@northshore.edu and we will share them in upcoming issues of iDevelop
  • "A great way of using the class time most effectively is to develop quizzes that students must take in ANGEL the day before class.  These quizzes should be based upon the reading or assigned work.  If they are due the day before class, that gives you time to go into the quiz and see what questions students got right and which ones they got wrong.  This will help you to determine what needs more attention during class.  Both instructor and student come to class with a better understanding of what they need to learn."
Resources

iDevelop is being brought to you by Academic Technology and the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment.  If you have any professional development events, best practices, resources or tips to share with other faculty, please send them our way.  Also, we would love your input on this eNewsletter.

Thank you,
