Engaging Students for Long-Term Learning

A Conversation with Brian Balogh (History), Dennis Proffitt (Psychology), Jeffrey Holt (Mathematics), and Ralph Allen (Chemistry)

This conversation focuses on engaging students in such a way that they learn for the long term, rather than for the upcoming quiz, exam, paper. These four colleagues will briefly share one or two of their approaches, strategies, and/or techniques to promote deep learning rather than surface learning. Their ideas will serve as a springboard to talk about participants' concerns and ideas.
