Hi fellow and other teaching in .

I will be teaching a next semester (capped at 250 students).

Has anyone done in large classes?

@bevgibbs I'm comfortable with either!

@mapicone have a look at this ethicsforge.cc/ It is still text-based but in a crowdsourced kind of a way (including feedback). Students take a stance, open their thinking and have to respond. We were getting 50,000 views + and thousands of comments with a class of 250

@mapicone and basically as an engineer Design is one of our go-to functions. Students making and modelling a work of public art to learn project management (isnt that translatable to a historical idea?). Students designing interactive experiences eg science fair, museum, that respond to an abstract concept. Designing for What If scenarios, and so on...
@peterbroks - what do you have on 'unessaying' history?

@bevgibbs @mapicone
Not specifically history (except tangentially) but I have had students work with posters. Oh, and just remembered in history of science we gave students a free creative rein for the "presentations" they did (one group put together a game show).
