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

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

Interdisciplinary

In this activity, the snowball strategy links students' prior beliefs to a deeper inquiry of science education goals.

Health science

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

Health science Interdisciplinary

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

Chemistry

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