How Can Technology Be Used To:
•create more time for active learning in undergraduate classes that rely heavily on lecture?
• foster inclusive learning environments that meet the needs of more students?
• increase personal connections between students and instructor beyond the classroom?

What is deep learning?
“Deep learning — learning associated with higher-order cognitive tasks — is typically contrasted with rote memorization. Memorization may help students pass an exam, but it doesn’t necessarily expand students’ understanding of the world around them, help them make connections across disciplines, or promote the application of knowledge and skills in new situations.”

• “I liked the voicethreads the best because it helped make me think in other ways and get different perspectives from my fellow students.”
• “...created an environment for people to do well who don’t always do best in a classroom environment if they’re afraid to talk in class or if the class is run by a group of students who dominate the conversation.”
• “... helped me to really understand the content we were learning and also get feedback from other students and from our professor as well.”

“In traditional lecture classes you feel like you are being forcefed the information, but in this class you felt like you were living the history in each of the learning units and truly connecting to the material.”
Student Comments:evidence of deep learning
“I learned more than I ever thought I would. ... I will take some of the lessons I learned here with me for the rest of my life.”

Student Comments:evidence of deep learning
“I really enjoyed the class and I understood the content a lot better than I would have in just a traditional classroom setting.”
“I have to admit it did take a little getting use to, and did require you to become a little more organized, BUT the richness in the information was a wonderful trade off. I feel as though I walked through the 1920's in Paris and was able to breathe in the atmosphere...”

Student Comments:evidence of deep learning
“[The class] made me look at the images I see every day in a new way. I also liked the way that the class was set up. I think that more classes should be taught this way.”
“The material presented in this class prompted me to evaluate my experiences as a female in terms of my connections to females who have lived before me, females now and those who will soon arrive on the scene.”
