The course contains five sessions. The course is designed for participants with a variety of interests, backgrounds, and career goals, with an emphasis on the teaching of science, technology, engineering, and math fields.

• Mathlets

  The Mathlets course introduces the use of the MIT Mathlet collection at university-level courses. It consists of three modules focusing of using Mathlets in different contexts: as lecture demonstrations, as a focus for student group work and as part of a homework assignment.

• Games and Learning

  The five week Games and Learning course introduces students to the connections between games and learning, integrating curriculum and games, understanding constructionism and complex systems, and learning to simulate and designing games.

These course are presented here as self-paced modules. They are recommended for graduate students, post-doctoral associates, instructors, and professors who wish to develop their teaching skills.
