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.

Social sciences Humanities

For instructors planning student group work projects over many weeks or months.

Languages and Literature

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

Applied arts

Students map key movements in Architecture and Design alongside social, political, artistic, economic, and tech milestones.

Health science

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

Chemistry

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

STEM Biology

STEM Mathematics

STEM Biochemistry

Interdisciplinary STEM Physics

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

STEM Biology

Students take the role of an ecologist and try to analyze species behaviours and predict population change.
