Just in Time Teaching - A 21st Century Teaching Technique 

Presenter: Dr. Jeff Loats

Organization: Metropolitan State University of Denver

Role: Associate Professor of Physics

Track: General Presentation

Topic: Effective Blended Learning Practices

Level: For Mere Mortals

Abstract: Technology can offer efficient ways do what we have always done, but sometimes it offers a fundamentally new way for instructors, students, and content to interact. Just in Time Teaching (JiTT) is an effective, evidence-based technique for face-to-face courses that creates fast, effective feedback loops. JiTT can increase the quality and quantity of contact with students and deserves your consideration. Very similar to the COLTT 2013 presentation, with added results and data from varied disciplines.
