Approaches that promote student engagement
Mechanisms for increasing student motivation
Influences of educational theory and practice
Components of effective instructional design
Techniques that encourage students’ active participation
Meaningful approaches to assessment

OSU Graduate Student, Arts & Sciences
One of the best things about this course and the text is that is provided me with real, tangible teaching tools. These are ideas for assignments, assessments or discussions that could be integrated directly and easily regardless of the course or education level.

My biggest learning in this course has been that I have become aware of formal evidence-based teaching methods and techniques. Before taking this course a lot of my teaching concepts came from anecdotal sources but now I can confidently state that my knowledge comes from evidence-based sources.
