Event Description

Have you ever thought about trying active learning, but not known how to start?  Based on the success of the last active learning meeting we will provide more detailed examples of implementation. Attend the Active Learning II session to not just hear about, but to see active learning in action. Discover hands-on, practical strategies to bring your classroom to life used by our expert panelists. Engage in an interactive discussion and leave equipped with innovative ideas to transform your teaching approach.

Active Learning Resources

Below are a couple of getting started resources we recommend reviewing on active learning.

Collaboration in Learning and Teaching Statistics provides some practical examples of how educators may apply a collaborative framework. While it focuses on Statistics, it is applicable to many disciplines.

See Active Learning I blog post for additional resources.

Post Engagement Questions

After attending the session or reviewing the recording if you are willing, it would be useful to us in guiding our work if you submit your responses on our survey, accessible via this link, use ONID.

What are one or two things you are thinking about doing as a result of this session?
