There is a wealth of evidence that peer learning and teaching is extremely effective for a wide range of goals. Moreover, skill in working cooperatively is essential for most vocations.
Peer instruction as a learning system involves students preparing to learn outside of class by doing pre-class readings. Then, in class, the instructor engages students by posing prepared conceptual questions or ConcepTests that are based on student difficulties.
Instructors can also take advantage of technology to communicate with students, by using student response websites which enable a large number of students to send their individual responses to an instructor’s computer. The instructor is then quickly able to assess student’s prior knowledge of a subject or check their understanding of new concepts.
The focus of the webinar will be on the following :
- What is Peer instruction and how it works
- What is a ConceptTest
- What is Peer Instruction workflow
The webinar will be held on Friday, January 19, 2018 from 11h00 – 12h00. Further details and instructions for accessing the online session will be sent after registration. Please contact Ariane Dumont for registration ariane.dumont@heig-vd.ch
