What is interactivity?

The act of students engaging conceptually with other students in order to promote learning

SLIDE 3

What is interactivity?

The act of students engaging conceptually with other students in order to promote learning

multiple people active learning ideas and concepts social aligned to learning objectives

SLIDE 4

To start off with….

SLIDE 5

who are you & why are you here?

Q1: how often do you use interactivity ? ⇒ line up Q2: what percentage of students participate ? ⇒ line up Q3: what are you hoping for today ? ⇒ please share with your neighbor. we will gather some of your ideas.

Q: what resonates which you? please write down any reactions (questions, observations, epiphanies, memories of your own examples). you will have the opportunity to discuss these afterwards.

The “less than ideal” (?) course for interactivity

title: Advanced Topics in Control audience: Master/PhD students in ITET, MAVT, & CS 2015: 40–70 students 2016: 100+ students room CAB G61: a prototypical “frontal” lecture room with 190 seats contents: distributed systems & control: theory, proofs, examples climate: control courses are not known to be interactive

rather theoretic courses requiring lots of self-study at home
motivating applications typically come through other courses

SLIDE 11

I guess we all know the theory . . .

The course involved a class room visit (!!!) (by LET instructors & course participants) where I was “forced” to try interactive sequences. . .

The course involved a class room visit (!!!) (by LET instructors & course participants) where I was “forced” to try interactive sequences. . . Reactions: Myself: “it’s never gonna work in my class” My TAs: “it won’t work & you’ll make a fool of yourself”

SLIDE 14

So I went out on a limb prepared to fail miserably . . .

let’s take a look

SLIDE 15

Epiphany: it worked & it was a lot of fun!
