Exploring methods for increased student interaction in lectures

Abstract

Giving a course at university level implies that there are things you want your students to learn to make them better prepared for their future work. Few, if any, lecturers would consider learning just to be able to pass the exam and then forgetting to make room for other knowledge as a satisfactory goal. In this project we search for the appropriate teaching methods to extract high-­‐level student engagement, and thereby achieve the desired learning outcomes. The take-­‐off point is three different courses given at the Design Sciences department. The aim is to increase the student interaction, both between students and lecturers and between students and students.
