Carrolls presentation was entitled Utilizing Active Learning to Make Connections and Improve Retention. This marks the second time Carroll has presented at NISOD. He was a speaker in 2004.
My presentation hopefully prepared faculty to go back into the classroom with a toolbox of strategies to actively engage students in course content, said Carroll, who has taught at BSCTC for 15 years. I wanted to share my passion for student success and my desire for them to view my course as a learning experience.
