Designing Active Learning – An introduction
May 6 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Active learning is fundamentally about student engagement and participation. It involves students going beyond passive listening in lectures or ‘sitting back and being fed information’ to ‘learning by doing’ and being agents of their own learning, for example through discussion, problem solving, role-play, and creating something new. This workshop facilitated by BILT will explore the active learning techniques for the classroom, as well as approaches to designing active learning curricula. Case studies from across the university will share ideas and practical implications.
The workshop will:
- Explore active learning and why it is valuable
- Generate ideas to implement in the classroom and curricula
- Develop future plans to make learning and curricula more active
