Giving students a voice in how their learning is structured can make their learning journey more relevant, meaningful and enjoyable. During this session, you’ll hear how student-designed lessons and assessments were successfully implemented in two very different disciplines. Through a series of scaffolded assignments, biology lab students designed their own experiments as the culminating activity in the course. Art students worked in groups to design assignments for classmates and grade peers’ final presentation of the resulting work.

Join us to discuss using Adobe Spark Pages to replace a more traditional research paper including the parameters and guidelines provided to the students in order to support the learning objectives.

Capturing and securing student attention can be a struggle for even the most seasoned instructors. As educators strive to create meaningful learning experiences for students, we will share two game-based activities to enhance student engagement. First, ‘Escape rooms’ are game-based learning activities in which students detect clues, solve puzzles, and work collaboratively to “escape” the room. Second, Kahoot, a free online tool, is more engaging and rewarding for students than zoom polls.
