Podcast #64: Collaborative Exams with Teddy Svoronos




The Teach Better Podcast show

Summary: Teddy Svoronos is a lecturer in public policy at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. He’s most well known for his creative use of technology in the classroom, but he's actually someone who thinks about pedagogy first and lets that dictate all of his tech choices. In this episode he tells us how he gives exams where students work independently first, and then teach each other during a collaborative second stage. He also shares some analysis he's done of the results that have encouraged him to increase the amount of collaboration in his classes.
