Students taught key concepts using one of four methods. Student learning assessed by proportion of correct answers to open ended questions on same concepts on final exam

Why make lectures interactive?
![Page 3: Developing Interactive Lectures Robyn Wright Dunbar Stanford University Katryn Wiese City College of San Francisco Preparing for an Academic Career Workshop.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dd35503460f94aca33d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Group brainstorm: What indicators would you observe/measure to determine if a lecture is successfully interactive?
![Page 4: Developing Interactive Lectures Robyn Wright Dunbar Stanford University Katryn Wiese City College of San Francisco Preparing for an Academic Career Workshop.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dd35503460f94aca33d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Students are talking with each other and teaching one another• Students are offering up answers and ideas• Students are engaged in thinking through concepts• Students are getting hands-on experiences with concepts• Students are collaborating with each other – brainstorming• Students are engaging with the material in multiple ways and
instructors are assessing understanding in multiple ways at multiple levels.
What is some evidence that a lecture is “Interactive”?

Interactive Lecture Toolbox• Think-pair-share• Concept Tests• Demonstrations, predictive demonstrations,
interactive demonstrations• One-minute papers
• Muddiest point, most important point
• Wall walk• Small group work
• Discussions, gallery walks, jigsaws
• Big group brainstorming• Other

• Instructor asks a question related to an image, graph, or prediction
• Students think (write, calculate) a response
Think-Pair-Share
• In pairs (or small groups), students discuss their responses
• Solicit pair or group response• Instructor can use to guide
instructionSatellite measurements of ozone concentration above Antarctica, 1979-1992

Think-Pair-Share
EXAMPLE• Individuals think about
a THINK-PAIR-SHARE question you would ask a group of students about this picture.
• Discuss your example with a partner
• Share ideas with larger group

Concept TestsMultiple choice questions embedded in the lecture
• Focus attention on key concepts
• Frequently include peer instruction
• Formative exercises during class used to assess student understanding and progress

Frequently used with an electronic Personal Response System (PRS) “clicker”

Demonstrations• Ask first: What do you expect? Why?• RUN DEMONSTRATION / ACTIVTY• Review: Did it occur as you expected? Why or
why not? Do you want to run any follow-up experiments?

JigsawSmall group work where students work on related
concepts and teach one another.
• Each team prepares a different assignment.• Teach information to others in mixed groups.• Mixed group addresses a more complex
problem that is best, or only, solvable with input from each member.
From B. Tewksbury at: http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/coursedesign/tutorial/jigsaw.html
![Page 15: Developing Interactive Lectures Robyn Wright Dunbar Stanford University Katryn Wiese City College of San Francisco Preparing for an Academic Career Workshop.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dd35503460f94aca33d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Jigsaw Example – Mineral propertiesEveryone gets one of 5 minerals.
Your goal: find all the other people in the room with the same mineral and group yourselves together.
Once everyone has found each other – review in your group all the things that make your mineral samples the same (is it color? shape? etc.)
One person from each group takes mineral and joins a mixed group to teach their mineral – explaining its special traits and answering questions.
Finally, the mixed group solves a challenge only solvable using their combined expertise (e.g. identify which unknown rocks contain their minerals, etc.)
![Page 16: Developing Interactive Lectures Robyn Wright Dunbar Stanford University Katryn Wiese City College of San Francisco Preparing for an Academic Career Workshop.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dd35503460f94aca33d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Focus attention on key concepts• Used to stimulate class discussions• On 4 walls of the class, place signs: Agree, Disagree,
Strongly Agree, Strongly Disagree• Do not let students stand in the middle (make them “take a
stand”)• Establish rules (can change where you are standing, be
courteous, raise hand, will be called upon, etc…)• Project a (controversial) statement about a class topic
Wall Walk
From Steer and Trujillo
![Page 17: Developing Interactive Lectures Robyn Wright Dunbar Stanford University Katryn Wiese City College of San Francisco Preparing for an Academic Career Workshop.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dd35503460f94aca33d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Set up posters around the room with different prompts. Teams circulate to each poster for review, discussion, and note making.
Every ~5 minutes, teams move to the next poster, engaging the pre-existing comments and enriching the “discussion,” until back at
original location.
Final groups review comments, discuss, and then choose spokesperson to report out key points to larger group.
SUGGEST
E(A modified Gallery Walk would do this by circulating papers among seated groups instead of circulating the people.)
EXAMPLE PROMPTS:
Identify and briefly describe some interactive lecture strategies.
What concerns might someone have about making lectures more interactive?
What resources are available to help make interactive lectures?
Gallery Walk Example
![Page 18: Developing Interactive Lectures Robyn Wright Dunbar Stanford University Katryn Wiese City College of San Francisco Preparing for an Academic Career Workshop.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dd35503460f94aca33d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
ON YOUR OWNYOU HAVE ~5 MINUTES TO WORK ON THIS:
Think about and design an interactive demonstration, concept test, brainstorm, wall walk, jigsaw, gallery walk, or think-pair-share for one of your courses on one topic.
![Page 19: Developing Interactive Lectures Robyn Wright Dunbar Stanford University Katryn Wiese City College of San Francisco Preparing for an Academic Career Workshop.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dd35503460f94aca33d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
WITH A PARTNER
YOU HAVE ~5 MINUTES TO WORK ON THIS (each person gets 2-3 minutes):
Discuss your activity with your partner – ask questions – elicit feedback.

“One-minute” papersPaper topics
The muddiest point of today’s classThe most important point(s) you learned from today’s class
A classroom assessment technique Involves students in their own learning, promotes
metacognitionCan show class-wide trendsMakes a natural starting point for the next class
