Learning Cells

To engage students in thinking about the content, encourage them to generate thought provoking questions and check for understanding.

How?

  1. Students develop a list of questions & answers over course material
  2. Form pairs
  3. Student A asks the first question and student B answers
  4. Student A offers corrections, clarification, additional info if needed
  5. Student B asks next question and student A answers
  6. Process continues until all questions are answered.

Encourage students to ask more open ended questions and to vary the types of questions.
