Classroom Pedagogy
Active learning Classroom assessment Discussion around student artifacts
Learner centric design
Classroom Networks
Students communicating with instructor device
Public display for aggregate results Low-bandwidth devices – e.g.
clickers Peer instruction
Peer Instruction
Classroom Networks with Digital Ink
Activities on lecture slides Student submit slides to instructor
Instructor reviews slides to gauge understanding
Slides selected to be shown on public display
What is special about Ink? Derivational activities as opposed to
selection Unanticipated solutions, misconceptions Flexibility of domains
Symbolic domains Diagrams Annotation of existing content
Partial results, brainstorming, scratch work Expression of individuality
What is special about Digital ink?

4.1
High rate of student participation
Range of instructional use
Student problem solving
Interactive lecture
Classroom deployments
Use of shared tablets 2-3 tablets per students
Promote student discussion and group work
Impact on instruction Classroom experience is different Less material is covered Radical change in lecture preparation
Learning goals first! Developing pedagogy and resources
for this style of teaching will take time
