teaching
large classes effectively with instructional technology
"One of the challenges of large classes is overcoming the anonymity and distance that can exist between teacher and students. If students are to be actively involved in and feel personal accountability for the learning process, they must be more than anonymous spectators and passive recipients of information. In order to facilitate discussion, feedback, and active learning, the instructors of large classes can work to create the kind of group identity and individual rapport that make smaller classes so effective and enjoyable." --IDP Penn State.
