Description

Are you looking for ways to make your lecture more interactive? Would you like your students to engage in disciplinary thinking in class? Would you like to know how well they are understanding your lecture in real time? Incorporating active learning opportunities into your classes may be the solution! Join the FDC staff to learn about what active learning is, its purpose and fundamental principles, and the many different ways to implement active learning to support your goals for student learning. To prepare for the session, think about a specific course you are teaching in which you would like to try active learning and what your goals would be for the active learning activity. You will leave this session with concrete examples to make your vision a reality. An afternoon snack is provided.
