Using TAs As Key Component Of Active Learning Transformation at UC Davis

By Phil Hill. Posted on August 3, 2015

Last week I described how UC Davis is making efforts to personalize one of the most impersonal of learning experiences – large lecture introductory science courses.

By Phil Hill. Posted on July 27, 2015

In my recent keynote for the Online Teaching Conference, the core argument was as follows: While there will be (significant) unbundling around the edges, the bigger potential impact [of ed innovation] is how existing colleges and universities allow technology-enabled change to enter the mainstream of the academic mission.
