For faculty @DukeU, the recently-concluded fall semester presented many pandemic-related teaching challenges - as well as opportunities to innovate in the classroom. Here are some of their stories: @DukeTrinity @DukeLearning #highered 1/6
@MT_statistics, who teaches statistical science, writes about flipping her classroom and seeing improved student engagement. https://bit.ly/3qyprcT 2/6
Meanwhile, two oral communications instructors employed a similar flipped-classroom strategy, which was tricky with students checking in from all around the world. They empowered students to take turns coordinating and leading discussions. https://bit.ly/3bG7YuQ 3/6
Chemistry prof Charlie Cox had a different challenge; conducting lab experiments virtually. For this, he had students raid their pantries and grocery stores for lab ingredients. https://bit.ly/2LSZ3el 4/6
In art history, professor @MaurizioForte2 added technology to his global museums course. With museums putting more content on their websites, he directed students to analyze collections using eye-tracking technology and other tools. https://bit.ly/3bGM0I6 5/6
And in sociology, prof Jen'nan Read partnered with a local refugee settlement org to give students a more layered experience in her immigrant class -- which she taught in person. https://bit.ly/3bG9z3O 6/6
