We exist in an era of profound change in higher education.
Our student constituency is evolving and diversifying. College classrooms no longer consist solely of recent high school graduates. We now welcome older students, returning students and working students. We bring together a vibrant variety of educational backgrounds, diverse cultures, interests, abilities and experience.
The classroom itself has undergone an extreme transformation, thanks to technology and the tremendous popularity of online instruction.
Education research continues to provide insight and provoke change. We are more aware of learning differences and the importance of active learning environments. Innovative instructors are moving away from the traditional lecture and toward more individualized, tailored instruction.
One of the most exciting pedagogical strategies to emerge in recent years is Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT).
JiTT introduces theory at the point of application and emphasizes cooperative learning. Traditional content-driven lectures are replaced with evidence-based “conversations” that relate directly to life. Students develop critical thinking skills and subject mastery by exploring divergent views. The instructor facilitates a fluid conversation; stimulates thought; and encourages critical analysis of the topic...guiding students as they move along unique paths toward higher levels of understanding.
Until now, much of the theory and application of JiTT has focused mainly on face-to-face learning environments. In this groundbreaking 75-minute seminar, you’ll learn how to apply the underpinnings of Just-in-Time Teaching to your online courses, transforming distance learning into a powerful, individualized teaching environment.
During this seminar you will learn to:
• Create a cooperative learning community that connects concepts, thinking and application.
• Use a developmental approach to move students from novice to expert thinkers.
• Develop measurable learning outcomes that are achievable and realistic.
• Prepare students for Just-in-Time Teaching.
• Employ high-level thinking questions as an essential step to developing student success. (You’ll practice the skill of developing higher-level thinking questions during the seminar.)
• Understand the importance of formative and summative evaluation throughout the course.
