Instructor Mandy Green tasked automotive instructors to break into groups and choose an ADAS feature listed at various stations around the room that interested them during the ASE - National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence Instructor Training Conference on July 18. The groups spent seven minutes learning about their chosen feature and using markers to design posters to educate their peers in the class. The attendees then walked around the room writing down what they learned, what questions were unanswered, and what they would add. Then, in an open discussion, they shared their findings. Green uses this method to help students in the classroom and encouraged hands-on learning for teaching concepts like ADAS. The class was co-taught by Erin Brennan. #ASEITC24
