Innovative Teaching Methods

This demonstration will feature the Distributed Active Learning Integrated Technology Environment (DALITE), a novel LTI compliant application which allows Learning Management Systems to include an asynchronous peer instruction component as a part of their course. It has been successfully used in three different MOOCs on the edX platform (Harvardx, MITx, McGillx). This tool not only enables a novel type of formative assessment based on student self-explanations, but also provides a rich source of peer-assessed natural language data for educational research.
