Hitting Pause: Practical Ways to Incorporate Lecture Breaks to Reinforce Learning

October 19, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

Join AOI for a virtual, one-time Special Topics training with guest speaker, Dr. Heloisa Rutigliano!

While research shows that students learn and retain information from lectures more effectively when they have opportunities for active learning, providing students with these opportunities does not necessarily require a complete overhaul of how you lecture during class time. Based on Gail Taylor Rice’s 2017 book, Hitting Pause: 65 Lecture Breaks to Refresh and Reinforce Learning, guest speaker Dr. Heloisa Rutigliano, Associate Professor of Veterinary Medicine at Utah State University, joins us to share practical strategies she has used to integrate short, active learning experiences into her lectures to increase student success. At the end of her talk, Brian Malone, Instructional Design and Faculty Liaison at WSU’s department of Academic Outreach and Innovation (AOI), will share how Panopto, a WSU-supported lecture-capture tool, facilitates the integration of active learning pauses across course delivery modalities.
