Langone Lab – An Innovative Orientation Program Using Apps and Wearable Tech to Power New Learning Experiences

Langone Lab Orientation is a two-day educational experience designed to expose incoming Langone MBA students to a process of collaborative innovation, emphasizing the integration of knowledge and practice, and the balance between creative intuition and business acumen. This new approach flips the concept of a traditional orientation. Students review materials online prior to arrival and put concepts into practice through intensive, team-based exercises on site.

For the Spring and Fall 2014 programs, student teams worked through an innovation process and developed an idea for a new business product or service concept. They used iPads and an application called ExplainEverything to record videos that illustrate their prospective users’ experiences. Additionally, their own experiences were captured through wearable technology, including Google Glass and Narrative Clip Lifelogging Clip camera.

The program, chosen as one of 11 winners from around the world, will be recognized in the Education Futurists category at this year’s awards ceremony in Boston.

Flipping a Large Lecture Class

Introduction to Media Studies is a core freshman course, with approx. 300 students, in Media, Culture, and Communication (MCC), Steinhardt. The professor, Ted Magder, has won several excellent teaching awards both here at NYU and at previous institutions, however was keenly aware that his large lecture needed more student engagement.

GLI worked with Prof. Magder over several months to identify areas of his course which could be ‘flipped’, freeing up class time to incorporate student centered activities. Two of the eight segments in the course were flipped during this initial revised version, with additional segments to be flipped and re-used with other core MCC course in future semesters.

Using Active Learning Modules in Online Courses

The online learning division of the Polytechnic School of Engineer has developed, piloted, and is in the process of implementing a new delivery system for online course content we are calling Active Learning Modules.  These modules combine multimedia, interactivity, and assessment to present content in a way that engages the individual learner at their own pace. In this presentation, we’ll talk about what an active learning module is, the results from the pilot, and the development process.
