Lesson 1 - Choice

Here is the first lesson of our MOOC on Better University Teaching Today. The focus of the lesson is personalizing instruction by providing university students choices. Please watch the lesson, check out the links provided below, and then complete the homework assignment.

We realize it is hard to read the sheet of paper held up by The Host during the Research portion of this lesson, so we provide it here: 

from the Coursera University Teaching 101 course - week 1, video 3

If you want more information on choice in the classroom, check out Genius Hour or Daniel Pink's TED Talk.

Homework

In the comments, describe how you currently use choice in your classroom or an idea for incorporating choice that you might try as a result of this lesson.
