The workshop will have a practical focus and will consider;

• the benefits of student interaction in class
• different types of interaction
• when interaction serves a useful purpose and when it doesn't!
• the challenges of incorporating interaction from a lecturer's perspective and how these can be evaluated

Who is it for?
Academic staff with responsibility for lecturing in both small and large class contexts, in a variety of types of space (seminar room, class room, lecture theatre...).
