Challenge
Dr. Neacșu had to teach very difficult concepts to undergraduate and foreign students. She needed an interactive, engaging way to deliver the material so it would be understood. The COVID-19 pandemic, which closed libraries and universities, made this harder still for educators everywhere.
Solution
Knolyx and its support team worked with Professor Neacșu to deliver the material interactively, helping students become familiar with it in advance and using visuals and graphics to present specific notions. Now Associate Professor of Legal Research Skills at Duquesne University School of Law, she continued to use the three lessons with undergraduate and foreign law students. Each time, students rated the lessons the most effective tool for the material.
Student feedback:
- “The visuals were helpful to gain a better understanding.”
- “The way it was well organized in diagrams and tables helped me clarify some information.”
- “I think the outline for the visual presentation is the most effective.”
- “Similar visual presentations would definitely be helpful to a student learning about a number of topics.”
- Voice-over could be added to the presentation.
