Research shows that students thrive when they actively engage with course content and collaborate with peers, but it can be tricky to figure out the best Active Learning strategy for a given topic, lesson, or learning objective. This workshop will help you develop your personal criteria for choosing active learning strategies that align with your instructional goals.
Key focus areas include:
-
Identifying the specific learning outcomes you aim to support through active learning.
-
Choosing the most suitable method for the activity, based on the type of thinking or action you wish to elicit from your students.
-
Tailoring activities to fit the unique needs and dynamics of your classroom.
This session will run for 30 minutes, with an additional 15 minutes reserved for questions.
