Graduate Teaching Orientation: Getting Started with Active Learning

CATLR@Northeastern

In this workshop, participants will experience and discuss multiple strategies for engaging students in active learning.

"Active learning” refers to a wide range of teaching and learning practices that ask students to do something with course ideas, lectures, and materials. There are many ways to introduce active learning in your class–different techniques are effective for different purposes, can be used by individuals or groups, and require different levels of preparation. In this workshop, participants will experience and discuss examples of these techniques for easy implementation into their teaching contexts.To make the most of this session, we strongly encourage you to explore Module 3, Getting Started with Active Learning, of our <a href="https://northeastern.instructure.com/enroll/TFX4KC" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Graduate Teaching Orientation Canvas course</a> beforehand.
