We know that it’s important for students to work with key concepts in order to master them.  Yet what kind of practice promotes learning?  How can we engage students with each other as well as with us as they learn course material?

This session will highlight how two faculty are using technology to improve student practice.  Come join the conversation about the strategies they’re using and what works for them.
