I will be interested in the follow-up report.<BR/><BR/>As for the Ithaca College way of teaching (linked in this post), I definitely think it is a good idea. Some of the technology they use seem over the top and there could be cheaper alternatives. I think the key idea is to get away from a boring lecturer at the front of the class talking for an hour (mostly blowing his own trumpet!).<BR/><BR/>I think 1 professor + 1 T.A for a group of 50 students max might be viable. I think this would work better for 2nd or 3rd year classes where at our university the class sizes are around 50 and 20 students respectively.Kent Leunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13883931195606774116noreply@blogger.com
