Active learning is a concept that has been researched extensively across multiple disciplines and in a variety of teaching and learning contexts. Benefits of active learning to students, both in terms of performance and experience, are supported by a large body of evidence.
In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the concept of active learning and will be provided opportunities to explore and learn about a variety of basic, evidence-based strategies that can be incorporated across disciplines, modalities and teaching contexts.
After this workshop, participants will be able to:
- define the concept of active learning as it is described in teaching and learning literature
- describe the benefits of active learning
- describe the potential barriers or risks with active learning
- expand knowledge of active learning strategies
- develop an active learning experience in a punctuated lecture prototyping exercise
