Also, with MI methodology, faculty time is better spent encouraging learning rather than teaching so students can simply pass a test. GCC is at the cutting edge of applying this innovative teaching, learning and assessment model across various disciplines. MI and GCC value the creative student and faculty. The data collected from this project can be used by other colleges and has already put MCCD in the limelight. Faculty consult with one another more often than in a traditional classroom.
Faculty become much more creative in designing and assessing their course.
Creativity of curriculum redesign is difficult in a vacuum and faculty find they need multiple sources and resources to enrich their curriculum and assessment. The MI faculty also meet on a regular basis to share different methods of teaching and assessment. Students are also encouraged to collaborate on the expression of their learning. Students also participate in the assessment process thus collaborating with one another and the faculty. With MI, learning occurs with both the faculty and student.
