Title of TalkUsing Task Based Learning in Undergraduate Math Classes
AbstractTask-based learning (TBL) has been used in K-12 education for quite some time. Although it is common in courses for elementary teachers, it is not regularly seen in other undergraduate courses. In this talk, I will present a working definition of TBL and provide examples of tasks in various introductory undergraduate math classes from College Algebra through Calculus. I will share examples of student comments and situations from my own courses that demonstrate just how powerful a tool TBL can be for instructors.
