Amy Todd, PhD
The size of a classroom and the number of learners that constitute a 'large class' differ from institution to institution and from discipline to discipline. A 'large' introductory psychology course may look very different from a 'large' introductory nursing class. With consideration for some of these nuances, this session will attempt to introduce key challenges, considerations and opportunities when teaching large classes. From the use of interactive educational technologies to providing opportunities for meaningful peer teaching, this session will hopefully inspire you to seek out opportunities to teach a large class (maybe….just once).
Learning outcomes:
After this session attendees will be able to:
- Identify a selection of educational technologies that can assist instructors and TAs with engaging learners in large classes
- Describe some common challenges (and opportunities) related to teaching in large classes including creating equitable learning environments and addressing issues related to incivility.
- Consider approaches to the design and delivery of equitable and inclusive courses with large classes in mind.
