Technologies to support team-based learning

Peggy McCracken, Romance Languages and Literatures | 2022-2023


I seek to identify and implement new technologies for promoting team-based learning in a large enrollment class (FR 242: Game of Thrones and the Middle Ages). I wish to develop resources for 1) interactive and shared commentary on assigned video clips; 2) shared student workspaces for collaborative writing; 3) assessment tools for individual and team-based assignments. While this work focuses in the first instance on FR 242, I anticipate learning to use instructional technologies that I can import into other classes, including smaller, 18-student classes that I teach in French. I also anticipate being able to share what I learn with departmental colleagues.
