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.

Languages and Literature General Interdisciplinary

Students learn to apply the rules for integration, punctuation, referencing and formatting of direct quotes in their writing.

Applied arts

Students use visual thinking to diagram / illustrate a subject with the only criteria being they have expert knowledge of it.

Languages and Literature

These gamified activities will help sensitize students to the nuances of diction and allow them to work together.

Chemistry

Students use PhET simulation to learn how factors affect reaction rate (collision theory) through hands-on activities

STEM Physics

This activity aims to bring about conceptual change by making explicit common misconceptions about the nature of science.

STEM Mathematics

The aim of this activity is to demonstrate that many continuous data of nature and psychology follow a normal distribution.

Interdisciplinary STEM Physics

This activity helps students improve their quality of reading annotations using platforms like Perusall.

Environmental science

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

Languages and Literature

In this multiple-class activity, students write a “texte expressif”, applying theory & grammatical lessons learned in class.
