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

STEM Physics

These mini-video projects require students to engage with course concepts and make connections to the world in which we live.

Interdisciplinary Humanities

STEM Physics

Students learn to build a conceptual model describing a situation involving an accelerating charged particle.

STEM Physics

Students use the Tracker software to analyze projectile motion to determine which equations fit the plots produced.

STEM Physics

Students learn to analyze data using spreadsheet programs and gain a deeper understanding of conservation of energy.
