Improving the Student Experience of Class Participation

Improving the Student Experience of Class Participation

In this 1.5 hour collaborative workshop, we will present preliminary research findings on the student experience of class participation at UNSW. Our goal is to share with you what we have learnt so far about the facilitators and inhibitors of class participation, as well as provide practical, evidence-based tips for encouraging and supporting students. There will be activities throughout the workshop, which will allow you apply what you have learnt to your own teaching contexts.
