Target Audience: All staff who teach and/or support learning

This is an online workshop.

Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT) is a strategy designed to promote the use of class time for active learning. JiTT relies on a feedback loop between student learning and the classroom. This involves students completing a short piece of work either before or during the class. Based on what they produce, teachers can provide a tailored input that responds directly to the students where they are. In other words, JiTT is a flexible, adaptable, student-centred approach to teaching that we think is a highly valuable and potentially very enjoyable way of teaching.  

 

In this STEP session, we will look at what JiTT is, why it is beneficial, and how you can begin to implement JiTT within your approach to teaching and learning at Strathclyde.
