Kevin Rice | Flipped Classroom
Associate Professor of Chemistry, Kevin Rice, was looking for new ways to engage with his students in a way that would leave significant class time for active discussion among his students. Working with Academic ITS as a FIT fellow, Kevin decided to implement a flipped classroom where he would pre-record his lectures. Before each class, students would view these materials at a pace suitable for them; this prepared students for discussions, presentations, or projects in which they would engage during class time.

Kerill O’Neill | Project-Based Learning
Kerill O’Neill, Julian D. Taylor Associate Professor of Classics, had an interesting problem to overcome – figuring out how to engage his 100- and 200-level students in the same Latin course. Using technology developed in partnership with Academic ITS as part of his FIT fellowship, Kerill had his 200-level students write commentary for the 100-level students to read.
