This sessionwill provide insight on different assignment styles and how to use Top Hat for comprehension, feedback, motivation and improvement before class. - Noon – 1:30 p.m. – Lunch / Faculty Q & A Session (Cottonwood Room)
Faculty who currently use Top hat in a few unique ways will share insights on topics such as the use of technology in the classroom, techniques to improve engagement and the use of interactive content outside of the classroom. - 1:30 – 3 p.m. – Creating an Active Learning environment during class
