Description

I HAVE TO ADMIT IT. I teach online courses in our graduate program in health care informatics exclusively and rarely enter a classroom. HOWEVER, I periodically guest lecture in health policy and undergraduate professional nursing courses and have noticed that over the last few years, classes are becoming larger and larger. Some classes top 150 students or more! * It is also getting more complicated in the classroom environment to keep students' attention. Students are preoccupied by a lot of "tech toys" that can facilitate learning but often serve as a distraction from learning. Students use their laptops to connect to the Internet, to shop, send email, and surf the web. They use their PDAs to send instant messages to their friends. Those students who are cleverly hidden in the last rows of an auditorium conceal their white earplugs and listen to their iTunes or watch the latest episode of "Desperate Housewives." * Sometimes I do not blame the students. Although very few nursing students use their Game Boys to seek their next adventure, they zone out on PowerPoint slides where faculty reiterate facts directly from the text. SO, GIVEN THESE CONDITIONS, how can we possibly think about using Chickering and Gamson's best practices (1) to facilitate learning? How do we engage students to become active learners? How do we facilitate interactive learning and foster critical thinking skills? How do we provide meaningful feedback to the hundreds of students in the room?
