A Journey from Teaching to Learning
“In its briefest form, the paradigm that has governed our colleges is this: A college is an institution that exists to provide instruction. Subtly but profoundly we are shifting to a new paradigm: A college is an institution that exists to produce learning.”
-- Barr and Tagg, 1995

A Journey from Teaching to Learning
• Flashback to May 2005…
• pICT fellowship helped me to identify this problem: student passivity in a large lecture course
![Page 6: 2008 Cdi Presentation Laumakis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492a4e2b47959a00e8b4693/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

May 2005: First pICT Fellowship
• Goal: increase active learning
• Tools to achieve this goal– In class: clickers– Outside of class: Discussion Board
![Page 7: 2008 Cdi Presentation Laumakis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492a4e2b47959a00e8b4693/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

CPS – Have you ever heard of clickers?
![Page 8: 2008 Cdi Presentation Laumakis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492a4e2b47959a00e8b4693/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Clicker Activities
• Initially…– Just ConceptCheck Questions– Like this one
![Page 9: 2008 Cdi Presentation Laumakis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492a4e2b47959a00e8b4693/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Clicker Activities
• Eventually expanded from just ConceptCheck questions to include:– Attendance– Demonstrations– Anonymous polling– Predicting outcomes– Peer instruction (Mazur)

Theme 2: Measure, measure, measure
• pICT fellowship taught me to assess and measure the effects of my course redesign efforts
• So, I evaluated those Fall 2005 innovations via the Student Assessment of Learning Gains (SALG)
• SALG

Theme 3: Strive for Continuous Improvement
• Course redesign is an iterative process• Measurement permits you to make data-
informed decisions about your course• As my teaching and learning journey
suggests, the road is a long one, so…• Start with baby steps
– Dream big, but start small
• Course redesign is a gradual process, not a quick fix
![Page 24: 2008 Cdi Presentation Laumakis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492a4e2b47959a00e8b4693/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Theme 4: Leverage What’s Available
• There may already be lots of material available to facilitate your course redesign efforts
• Web-based materials– Anterograde Amnesia– Utah Mouse Party
• Publisher-developed materials– Worth Publisher’s PsychPortal
• I use these extensively because they help me reach my goals– Increase active learning and student engagement
![Page 25: 2008 Cdi Presentation Laumakis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492a4e2b47959a00e8b4693/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Theme 5: Enjoy the Journey
• Course redesign is a lot like parenting– It’s hard work– It’s tiring– It takes a lot of time AND…
• It’s incredibly rewarding when you do it right
