TLC: How Can I Get Students to Engage with Course Content Before Class?

Facilitated by Lance Lee, Director, Teaching-Learning Center

Note: This is a pre-recorded presentation from professors at Concordia University with a discussion to follow.

This program addresses how student misconceptions about course content can become barriers to learning and offers several techniques to help teachers facilitate the adoption of alternative viewpoints in their students. The presenters discuss a variety of motivational methods to explore the impact that engagement with the material prior to coming the classroom experience has on the student brain and ultimately student success.

This session is part of the TLC’s 2019-2020 programming theme: evidence-based teaching practice. Be sure to look for other sessions on the TLC calendar with this theme. Your attendance at three sessions during the 2019-20 year results in a TLC-issued certificate of evidence-based teaching.
