| Abstract: | As course sizes grow, communication between learners and educators during the semester frequently becomes a one-way street: presentation-style delivery of content to the masses. Eventually, there is an exam, but the feedback on learning outcomes comes when it is already too late, both for the learners and the educators. The session describes scalable solutions for continual formative assessment of learning progress, with a particular focus on large enrollment science and math courses. Strategies for computer-facilitated mastery-based homework and Just-in-Time teaching are presented. |
