Keynote Session - Students as Producers: Authentic Assignments for Deep Learning
In the courses we teach, we have the opportunity to engage our students not only as consumers of information, but producers of knowledge. Usually this means moving beyond the five-page paper to less traditional assignments and projects. In this introduction to the "Students as Producers" approach to course design, we'll consider assignments that encourage students to tackle open-ended problems, to operate with a high degree of autonomy, and to share their work with wider audiences. We'll also discuss teaching and assessment practices that support students as they engage in these kinds of assignments.
