Description
Student engagement is the holy grail of higher education. Engaged students retain more information and report higher satisfaction with courses and materials. But how do you engage students while still teaching facts and figures? In this presentation, you’ll be shown techniques that integrate fun and learning through application of pop culture icons such as Shark Tank and speed dating. These techniques allow students to use project-based learning that enhances retention and gives students a wide range of skills.
