Description
Mobile furniture. Generous whiteboard space. Dynamic activity possibilities. These hallmark features of an active learning classroom have significant impacts on the ways an instructor plans and utilizes the learning space. Are you currently scheduled to teach in such a classroom? Or would you like to plan ahead? In this hands-on workshop, we will explore an active learning classroom and experiment with a variety of in-class activities. We will draw from educational research around principles of learning and student engagement. Whether you already use collaborative of guided inquiry activities in your courses or are still in exploratory mode, this workshop will also introduce you to helpful course design frameworks and models for making the most of new and redesigned learning spaces. You may not be surprised to learn that the best plans for active learning classroom utilization spill over into areas such as outside-of-class planning, use technology, and assessment of student learning. We will provide support as you consider the details both small and large in engaging students in new ways in new spaces. Held in a relatively large classroom, this workshop is appropriate for instructors teaching courses enrolling 8-88 students.
Open to all faculty and staff. Limited to 40 participants. Register for Teaching in an Active Learning Classroom by December 20, 2023 in Sprout.
