There are simply things you cannot do with a class of 15
that you can do with one student.  I spent three years
teaching classes of 80 students.  You just have to get
creative in your presentations, assignments, and grading.
If you need suggestions contact me offline.

BTW, why are these threads so focused on teachers' needs, 
rather than students and achievement?
