Faculty innovations in delivery methods can greatly enhance the learning experience for students. Here's a list of some innovations in delivery methods that faculty members identified and adopted:
Flipped Classroom Model: Inverting the traditional teaching model by delivering instructional content online before class, and using class time for interactive discussions, problem-solving, and collaborative activities.
Active Learning Strategies: Incorporating interactive and hands-on activities within lectures to engage students actively in the learning process. This includes case studies, group discussions, role-playing, and problem-solving exercises.
Gamification of Learning: Integrating game elements, such as quizzes, simulations, and competitive challenges, to make learning more engaging and fun.
- Blended learning – Rethinking the purpose of the classroom and classroom time
- Gamification – Engagement through play and the pedagogies of games
- Computational thinking – Problem-solving approach through logic
- Experiential learning – Investigating in a complex world
