Re-wiring Student Perceptions of What a Student Is
Abstract
At times it is necessary to reframe instructors’ thinking about what a student is. Within this process of reframing, instructors can
find a new identity for themselves in both the in-class and online environments. Techniques for turning control of content over to the students are discussed, including using the students as classroom lecturers. The principle employed in this approach is that if a person learns content well enough to teach it, then real learning has taken place.
