Welcome to our new blog!

The idea for this blog emerged from discussions with WPI faculty members active in the Teaching and Learning Journal Club in the Biology & Biotechnology Department. Our initial purpose is to showcase  examples of Think-Pair-Share and other simple active and collaborative learning techniques being used by WPI faculty to engage all students in class and assess their understanding of what’s being taught. We hope these examples will make it easier for others to try similar practices. Over time we expect to add other types of posts that feature innovations in teaching and learning at WPI.
