Teaching Physiological Psychology in a Multimedia Classroom

Abstract

In this article, I describe techniques used for teaching Physiological Psychology in a 104-Stuaent multimedia classroom that includes two computers and an array of permanently mounted audiovisual equipment. Lectures are illustrated with computer-generated text, graphics, animations, and video clips. Keypads mounted on student desks tabulate individual student responses to questions posed to the class. Use of the keypads promotes active learning in a large lecture class because each student formulates an individual answer to every question.
