4. JiTT a Web Based Teaching
Approach
Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT for short) is a
teaching and learning strategy based on
the interaction between web-based study
assignments and an active learner
classroom. Students respond electronically
to carefully constructed web-based
assignments which are due shortly before
class, and the instructor reads the student
submissions "just-in-time" to adjust the
classroom lesson to suit the students'
needs.

6. Using JiTT in ILM’s -
Rapid Deployment eLearning
• Helps teacher find out students learning
needs before F2F
• Uses today’s elearning technologies to
package and deliver content
• Interactive Learning Modules (ILMs) also
deliver formative assessment interactions
• Just in time for teacher to adjust what and
how they teach F2F
• Manages and offsets the content load of the
F2F - enables quality time for interactive
lecturing

7. Anupolsteraphobia
• Interactive Learning Modules are curriculum and can
manage the content load but they enable so
much more
• Assessment & feedback first - content second
• Free up valuable F2F time for interactive learning
“The fear of not covering the
material ... Anupolsteraphobia cannot
be cured but it can be controlled.”

9. •Both are highly awarded teachers and
support JiTT as a positive systemic
change to teaching at the University of
Adelaide
•Prof. Maier has published about his use
of JiTT and ILMs to support PBL. He
introduced this pedagogical approach to
colleagues in the Faculty of ECMS
•Assoc. Prof. Jaksa is using the pedagogy
and recently got 80% positive feedback
from his students that the ILMs helped
learning. In Jul 2011 Mark and some
colleagues won an ALTC grant of
$199,000 to develop the concept further.
