Active Learning Workshop Series: Evidence-Based Active Learning: Minute Paper

The Minute Paper is a very commonly used classroom assessment technique that takes little time and can be used at the end of any class or module. It provides feedback on whether an instructor's goal or focus of instructional time or engagement matches their students' understanding or learning.

In this session, participants will explore the various evidence-based approaches to incorporating minute papers across disciplines and teaching contexts. Barriers to effective implementation and tips for effective practice will be discussed. Participants are only asked to arrive motivated to improve practice, and they’ll leave with a plan for effective, evidence-based change using the Minute Paper!

Participants are encouraged to register for all six workshops or choose to register solely for the workshops that align with their needs. Workshop dates are as follows:

September 6th: An Introduction to Evidence-Based Active Learning

September 28th: Deep Dive into Active Learning Implementation Practice

October 11th: Evidence-Based Active Learning: Peer Instruction

October 26th: Evidence-Based Active Learning: Minute Paper

November 8th: Evidence-Based Active Learning: Jigsaw

November 30th: Evidence-Based Active Learning: Gallery Walk

After this workshop participants will be able to:

• plan implementation of the minute paper in their own context
• anticipate and overcome barriers to effective use of the minute paper strategy
• identify appropriate assessments to measure the effectiveness of the minute paper strategy
