Instructor Testimony
This is a large size class, usually around 300 students. There are two issues with this large-size class:
- Little interaction
- Single assessment strategy with multiple choice questions
In 2009 Fall, I offered an optional assessment:
- students can choose to create a video rather than take the final exam
- let them form groups of up to 4 people
- the assignment was simply to teach one section of the class (any one they wanted) as if it was going to be used in place of face-to-face instruction
- the response was overwhelming (nearly 30 videos, representing about 1/3 of the class).
- There was NO instruction on how to write, shoot, or edit these videos. They had to use their own abilities and resources. I asked them to upload to Vimeo.
