Student Perspectives on Interactive Learning

The attached MP3 file contains the full audio recording for one of the student parlor presentations that took place during the 2005 Summer Focus Session. In the presentation, Michigan State University student Sarah Marzec and North Carolina State University student Carie Windham discuss their views on why the use of interactive approaches to teaching and learning matters, as well as what works and what doesn't. The students also engaged participants in a brief question-and-answer period toward the end of the presentation.

This file also represents my first attempt at post-production on an audio file, so I apologize in advance for any peaks and valleys in volume and sound quality. Some aspects of the original recording couldn't be easily improved, but I took my best shot at them and I'll continue to try to improve my production skills with subsequent recordings.
