      Improved Pedagogy

      Two of the most significant barriers to improved pedagogy are 1) tradition is often the motivating factor for how content is delivered (we teach the way we were taught) and 2) time constraints limit our ability to design and implement better methods for engaging students. This forum will be used to discuss teaching methods that move beyond the lecture hall and how the educational effectiveness of these approaches can be quantitatively assessed.

The purpose of this forum is to discuss way that content can be eliminated from the curriculum while better preparing our students for life-long learning.
