Facilitating Interactive Learning in the Neuroscience Classroom

Principal Investigator

Department/Lab/Center: Brain and Cognitive Sciences

The aim of this project is to enhance teaching in course 9 by integrating classroom technologies into courses taught by Prof. Goosens, including 9.15 and 9.31. Personal response devices (clickers) will be used during lectures to facilitate class participation and incorporate problem set questions. Additionally, a tablet PC will be used to deliver lectures, which will enable dynamic, handwritten content that can be saved and posted to Stellar. The use of these technologies will further enhance the curriculum of two highly rated undergraduate courses.
