Show Tell and Talk: Active Learning

Staff register here Students register here

Embedding effective and inclusive active learning into teaching and curriculum design, which engages, motivates and supports all students in their learning is an important University of Bristol strategic aim. 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 (Gibbs, 1988; Kolb, 2015).

This sharing innovations workshop will provide an opportunity to hear from a range of colleagues about how the theme is being embedded at UoB, why it is important and what active learning projects, supported by BILT, are being undertaken at the University. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussion with colleagues.

This 90 minute in-person workshop will take place in Room 2.26, 35 Berkeley Square
