I鈥檝e been passionate about Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT) since I first learned about it in the early 2000s. I continue to believe it is one of the most broadly applicable active engagement teaching methods out there, as it complements nearly every teaching method and subject matter.

This year I worked with the Instructional Design Group to create an excellent .

A brief sales pitch:

  • Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT) creates powerful feedback loops that make synchronous classes more engaging, effective, and adaptable.
  • JiTT focuses on 鈥渟ense-making鈥 rather than 鈥減oint-getting.鈥 Approaches that incorporate this kind of shift can help mitigate challenges posed by generative AI.
  • Despite 25+ years of research across disciplines, JiTT remains underused. In nearly two decades using, studying, and teaching JiTT – even partnering with one of its original inventors – and I’ve seen firsthand how it can transform teaching and learning.

So take a few minutes to . It might just change the way you think about pre-class work.
If you have questions or are curious about how JiTT can fit into your course, let鈥檚 talk! I鈥檓 happy to share ideas and examples.
