21. USING TECH: JUST-IN-TIME (Feedback, Discussion)
Description: Just-In-Time is a teaching and learning strategy based on the interaction between web-based study assignments and an active learner classroom. Students respond electronically to carefully constructed web-based assignments which are due shortly before class, and the instructor reads the student submissions "just-in-time" to adjust the classroom lesson to suit the students' needs. (The "feedback loop" formed by the students' outside-of-class preparation affects what happens during in-class time together.)
Application: This strategy can be used in most subjects as a formative assessment.
Process: Commit to using this strategy in regular intervals throughout the course. Determine the methods of web-based interaction: a blog or web pages, for example. Create meaningful warm-ups, puzzles, videos, etc. that grab students’ attention. Encourage students to develop answers as far as they can on their own and remind them that the assignment is due a certain amount of time before the class meets. Read the student submissions and be prepared to adjust in-class instruction, using student responses as the start point.
