This week we present the next tip in our "What's Working" video series created by UNCG instructors, for UNCG instructors. Each video will be under 5 minutes and features tips you can immediately implement in your classroom.
In this week's video, Assistant Professor of Kinesiology, Judy Fowler, shares several examples of using collaborative concept maps to help students make connections between conceptual knowledge and factual knowledge and engage in metacognitive reflection about their learning in the course. This is a great way to start conversations with your students and check for understanding in a low-stakes setting. Here are a few other related resources to inspire new ways to connect with your students:
