Teaching Large Classes: Active Learning in Lectures Other events...
Workshop Description: Large classes mean the lecture class is maintained, yet effective teaching requires reconsidering how learners are engaged in the lecture time. ‘Active Learning’ is a principle which aims to involve students in the learning process, so that they are not simply passive (and inattentive) recipients of knowledge. Even simple tasks such as voting on a question engages students in the content delivery for better attention and retention of learning, and there are other strategies for having students actively engaged. This workshop will introduce you to the theory behind Active Learning, model a range of Active Learning strategies, and give you some practical tips and techniques to help you develop appropriate Active Learning activities for your lectures. The workshop will also touch on the use of technologies as active learning tools.

Intended Outcomes: By the end of this workshop you will be:

• aware of the theories behind Active Learning

• able to identify the benefits of Active Learning

• familiar with a range of Active Learning techniques

• equipped to develop and implement Active Learning strategies appropriate toyour teaching.
