Participation Without Raising a Hand: Active Learning with Vevox
Joseph O’Halloran
How can we boost engagement and encourage more students to contribute, especially in a large class?
In our October Active Teaching Lab, Joseph O’Halloran will share how he uses Vevox in his 60-plus-student physics course. Through live polls, in-class graded quizzes, and anonymous questions, Vevox gives students multiple ways to participate, test their understanding, and ask for clarification. Joe found that these options led to greater participation, including more questions from students who might not otherwise raise their hands.
Along the way, we’ll consider how active learning can support AI-aware teaching. By asking students to practice, apply, and demonstrate their understanding during class, instructors can keep students engaged in the work of learning while reducing opportunities to offload that thinking to AI.
