While traditional lectures continue to play a role, classes can be adapted to be more in line with student-centered active learning environments. In-class interactions transform students from passive observers to active learners. They can provide a way for the teacher to receive immediate feedback about understanding, allowing for any misconceptions to be addressed immediately.
In-class interaction can be achieved with the help of technology using:
|
|
Slice |
| This is best used for receiving feedback through annotation on medical images, such as pathology and anatomy images. | |
|
|
Echo360's Active Learning Platform |
| This is best used for in-class polling with real-time collation of responses. | |
|
|
Smart Sparrow Poll |
| (A feature of Smart Sparrow Adaptive Tutorial) It allows you to compile student responses to multiple choice or drop-down questions. | |
