Subject: Re: Preclass preparation


I thought I'd share what I've done to prepare students for inclass
activities.  When I started 6 years ago, a colleague was struggling with
poor course evals because she adopted a teaching strategy that required
students to acquire the content on their own outside of class.  So, when
I decided to adopt the TBL strategy, I knew I would have to provide more
guidance to the approximately 60 graduate nursing students in my GYN
course.  Our School purchased Articulate PresenterTM which I used to
record all of my lectures into shorter (10-15 slide) modules which I
post to Bb.  The students then review them along with the reading
assignments prior to class. Of course, feedback on course evals still
occasionally includes "too much time needed to review the modules", but
more frequently the feedback is along the lines of appreciating the
opportunity to review the modules at their own pace (sometimes multiple
times) and not having to listen to 3 hours of lecture.   Although
somewhat time intensive the first semester, the Articulate program is
easy to use, and now I just have to update selected modules each year.
I hope this is helpful.
