Developing a High Impact Learning Environment: Bite Size is the Right Size

Abstract

<p>This project develop pedagogy and enhanced teaching resources for a high-enrollment required course at a major state university in the United States. Challenged by students' short attention spans and their preference to learn from multiple information sources, this project developed bite-sized, succinct course lectures combined with videos and/or in-class activities, to provide an engaging and interactive learning environment. This robust learning environment resulted in improved student performance, higher attendance rates as well as lower withdrawal and failure rates, indicating higher student success.</p>
