Just-in-Time Teaching

Instructional Design and Curriculum Frameworks

Just-in-time teaching, often abbreviated JiTT, is a pedagogical strategy that uses feedback between classroom activities and the work students complete at home in preparation for the classroom meeting. Its goals are to increase learning during classroom time, enhance student motivation, encourage students to prepare for class, and let the instructor fine-tune classroom activities to best meet students' needs; it is distinct from the related idea of just-in-time learning, which instead focuses on connecting learners directly with the content they need at the moment they need it.
