Title
Using Self-response System and Online Learning Environment to Promote Science Learning in A Large College Class
Abstract
How can large undergraduate classes be made more interactive? How can students be engaged to think deeply and to gain conceptual understanding of course content? This paper describes a Peer Instruction and Model-based Reasoning approach to address these questions. We describe an instructional design and present empirical data to show how two learning technologies: an online teaching and research tool (www.lon-capa) and a self-response system (clickers) were used in an introductory undergraduate biology course (N=448). Implication for how to adopt this type of technology for teaching and research purposes are also provided.
