Consolidate and Deepen Students' Knowledge after Lecture

This faculty/instructor session is divided into two parts:

Part 1: Background Theory and Research, 1:30–2:10 p.m.
A single exposure to the lecture material in class is unlikely to produce durable knowledge (Nuthall, 2007). Students may leave class with only a tenuous understanding of the material. In fact, research shows that students’ notes typically contain fewer than half of the main ideas from lecture (King, 1992; Kierwa, 2002).

Unless students continue to think about the material they won’t achieve much depth of understanding, and are likely to forget most of it.

In Part 1, we will explore strategies that make learning last, and how you can incorporate these in your courses.  
 
Part 2: Work Session, 2:15–3:00 p.m.
Identify and develop strategies to help students elaborate and consolidate what they started to learn in lecture. Focus on 1) activities to use during the last few minutes of class time, e.g., minute papers, elaborating class notes, and 2) post-class assignments, e.g., online quizzes, application problems.
