Description

Have you ever looked out at a sea of students and wondered, "How on earth am I going to get all of these people engaged in my course?" Or perhaps you dread the virtual or literal pile of grading that large classes produce? Or maybe you're struggling with the logistics of more emails, more student meetings, more everything! If so, join us in a discussion of various strategies you can implement to make large classrooms seem small. With the aid of AsuLearn, Google products, apps, and some non-technological solutions, we will work together to devise a strategic plan for your large courses. (Note: "Large" is in the eye of the instructor--if your class feels large to you, then it counts as large!)

Facilitator: Dr. Lindsay Masland, Psychology/Early-Career Programming, Center for Academic Excellence
