In The New College Classroom, authors Davidson and Katopodis translate cutting-edge research in learning science and pedagogy into ready-to-use strategies that instructors in any discipline may incorporate into their courses to create an environment that is truly conducive to learning. These empirically driven, classroom-tested techniques of active learning―from the participatory syllabus and ungrading to grab-and-go activities for every day of the term―have achieved impressive results at community colleges and research universities, on campus, online, and in hybrid settings. Davidson and Katopodis explain how and why their approach is more effective than conventional methods of instruction and provide detailed case studies of educators successfully applying active-learning techniques in their courses every day, ensuring that their students are better prepared for the world after college.
