Active Learning Activities

Active learning activities are tailored to specific learning outcomes and content. They incorporate one or more of the evidence-based strategies. Structured to expose their theoretical underpinnings, the activities can be used by practitioners and researchers alike.

Health science

Case-based ranking & sorting activities based on pre-class quiz on exercise safety in a client with a cardiac condition.

Health science

Before class, students read an article and gather 5 elements. In class, they "pool" findings and sort into categories.

STEM Health science

The purpose of this activity is to deepen students' understanding of cardiac pathophysiology.

Interdisciplinary Health science

In teams, students interact, share information on their profession, and create cases where each discipline is needed

Health science STEM Biology

In this single-class activity, students use cards to match cells with their organelles and functions.

Health science Social sciences Applied arts

The purpose of this activity is to familiarize students with the potential of online tools for problem-solving.

Environmental science

In this activity, students learn to define sustainability and apply this to a single Montreal neighbourhood.

Environmental science

In this semester-long activity, students visit a farm several times to engage in a critical analysis of that ecosystem.

Environmental science

The aim of this project is to get students thinking about facts and concepts related to rivers in the field (in real life!).
