IF-AT (Immediate Feedback Assessment Technique) cards are becoming a popular learning and assessment tool on campus. These cards permit multiple choice answers to be chosen by scratching the card surface (like a scratch and win card) so that students can attempt a question multiple times until they get the correct answer. They are used for individual or group learning and research suggests that being able to answer a question until the correct answer is determined can correct student thinking errors. When used in a group, the discussion around selecting the answers provides an opportunity for peer learning.
We are bringing together a group of instructors who have used IF-AT cards in the last year to share how the cards were used in their classes, how the activities were graded and how the cards were effective for encouraging active learning. They’ll also share any of their challenges with IF-AT activities.
If you’ve wondered if this strategy would be useful in your course, want to find out about the range of individual and group activities that the cards can be used for, or are just curious about the IF-AT technique please join us for this informal sharing session.
