- W2464588124 abstract "The inclusion of supplemental online assignments and in-class active learning activities can lead to greater levels of student engagement and learning. Students reported that they were more engaged in the classroom and felt that both helped them in exam preparation. Both were also shown to have positively affected student performance and, perhaps most hearteningly, seemed to have had the greatest impact on lower achieving students. On many college and university campuses the Introduction to US Government and Politics course is traditionally delivered as a lecture, often in a large auditorium. Class usually begins with a few late arriving students searching for seats. Most of the light in the room is provided by hanging projectors emitting images of lecture slides onto screens. As the last stragglers sit down, the lecturer checks the microphone by tapping it and proceeds to pick up where the last lecture left off. The students sit passively, only half listening, but they dutifully take notes when the lecturer advances to the next slide. The sounds in the lecture hall are usually the clacking of keyboards, the hushed whispers of side conversations and, as the end of class approaches, ominous groans when a new text-filled slide appears. This is environment that many public (and private) colleges and universities place many of their first year students, in many ways their most challenged students, who are trying to juggle a new living environment, new personal responsibilities and freedoms, and new academic demands. The situation is further exacerbated by the fact that many of them come poorly prepared for college and that most would benefit from courses to help them improve their study skills. I was recently assigned a mid-afternoon large lecture class, and I wanted to change my approach to the class for two important reasons. Firstly, students often approached this required course with a mixture of apathy and resentment. Secondly, our university's administration was encouraging the department to (re)consider the course's delivery in light of its low success rates. This article will examine the effects of two changes to my Introduction to US Government and Politics course and seek to answer the following question: can incorporating online assignments and adding numerous in-class activities improve student engagement and learning?" @default.
