Webinar: Rethinking the General Chemistry Course for Deeper Learning​

With easy answers one quick search away, homework is no longer a dependable measure of learning.  You can put more weight on exams, but then test anxiety rises. Keep it on homework, and you risk crediting work that doesn’t necessarily show learning. 

There’s a third path, and it doesn’t mean redesigning your course. 

Join chemistry educators teaching large online lectures and smaller in-person courses as they share the small, high impact changes that are deepening student learning. You’ll see how firm structure, low-pressure practice and active class time motivate students to invest. You’ll also learn how they use Aktiv Chemistry to make student thinking visible and provide targeted feedback that helps students learn from mistakes and keep progressing.

What you’ll learn: 

• How to separate graded work from low-pressure practice, so students can try, miss and try again
• The role of discussion, group work and TA feedback in building community and showing where students are stuck
• Why a mix of low-stakes practice and frequent mid-stakes assessment can ease anxiety and still measure learning
• Aktiv Chemistry in action: how guided practice and feedback help students learn from mistakes, build confidence, and keep progressing
