A University of Iowa Office of Teaching, Learning and Technology video features Mark Andersland, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, on "The Extraordinary Teaching Project: Individualized Learning in a Large Class."

Andersland's approach uses immediate feedback and individualized instruction to improve student learning and motivation. He designed his large lecture engineering course to include active learning, student-centered instruction, frequent formative assessments, and immediate feedback, which yields increased student engagement and learning.

The teaching initiative also is featured as the cover story in the current issue of Iowa Engineer magazine--along with a video interview by Andersland.  To read the story and watch the video, go to http://www.pageturnpro.com/University-of-Iowa-College-of-Engineering/73203-Iowa-Engineer-Magazine,-2016-No-2/index.html#1.
