Will students be watching taped lectures from their dorm room beds? Will residential campuses even exist in the future? Professor Cathy Drennan has been creating and assessing resources for the large classroom lecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for the past seven years, and her findings suggest that many of the cons of the big lecture can be addressed through small innovations. In this talk, she will present data that show that the big classroom lecture format retains value in this online world; that the traditional lecture can be evolved to create a positive learning environment for a diverse group of students. These data will be presented <em>in person</em> – come join us for a lively discussion of the future of education.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>	</div>	<div style="margin:0.1pt0in;text-align:left">		 	</div></div><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;margin:0.1pt0in;text-align:left">	<div style="text-align:start;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px">		<a data-url="https://bokcenter.harvard.edu/herschbach-lecture" href="internal:/herschbach-lecture" target="_blank" title="">The Herschbach teacher/scientist lecture series</a><span><span style="color:#000000"><span><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="font-variant-caps:normal"><span style="font-weight:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:normal"><span style="orphans:auto"><span style="text-transform:none"><span style="white-space:normal"><span style="widows:auto"><span style="word-spacing:0px"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust:auto"> recognizes scholars who excel both as scientists and as educators.  The lecture series honors emeritus professor Dudley Herschbach, a Nobel-prize winning chemist and a devoted educator and is hosted by the Derek Bok Center for Teaching &amp; Learning. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>	</div>	<div style="text-align:start;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px">		 	</div>	<div style="text-align:start;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px">		<span><span style="color:#000000"><span><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="font-variant-caps:normal"><span style="font-weight:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:normal"><span style="orphans:auto"><span style="text-transform:none"><span style="white-space:normal"><span style="widows:auto"><span style="word-spacing:0px"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust:auto">Additionally, Dr. Drennan will discuss her scientific research on metallocofactors at a </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><a data-url="https://chemistry.harvard.edu/event/catherine-drennan" href="https://chemistry.harvard.edu/event/catherine-drennan" target="_blank" title="">Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology seminar</a><span><span style="color:#000000"><span><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="font-variant-caps:normal"><span style="font-weight:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:normal"><span style="orphans:auto"><span style="text-transform:none"><span style="white-space:normal"><span style="widows:auto"><span style="word-spacing:0px"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust:auto"> on Monday, October 1.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>	</div>	<div style="text-align:start;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px">		 	</div></div>
