Summary

"Technology provides new ways for students to receive first contact with material, enhanced opportunities to connect and create community, better ways to ensure that students are prepared for class, and new options for the sequence of learning encounters and activities. Teaching Naked is really about rethinking the how, where, when, and what of technology. Jos Bowens Teaching Naked Cycle provides higher education professionals with a practical, student-centered way to increase opportunities for interactivity. Teaching Naked Techniqueshelps higher education faculty create more effective and engaging lessons--or groups of lessons--on a wide range of topics. Based on Bowens Teaching Naked Cycle, the book focuses on each step of class preparation from the students perspective. There is a chapter on each step in the cycle with an abundance of discipline-specific examples (10-20 for each concept) plus additional resources. The book helps faculty take the first step in adopting this new pedagogy; by the final chapter, readers will learn how to implement larger (e.g. entire course) redesign projects. As the Techniques title implies, faculty can turn to this book to find multiple ideas at different points throughout the semester"--

"Provides field-tested, helpful materials to improve course design, make better use of technology, maximize in-class time, and boost student engagement"--
