Teaching Innovation Studio: Beyond the Lecture: Integrating Active Learning Strategies in the Classroom

The Group for Teaching Innovation, in collaboration with CELT, invites you to our first Teaching Innovation Studio of the Spring semester. Active learning, in which students engage in the learning process through discussion and activities, is consistently found to yield better learning outcomes than lecture alone (e.g., Freeman et al., 2014). Many of us have made efforts to incorporate active learning into lecture-based courses to improve student engagement and learning, or are interested in identifying ways to do so. In this studio we will explore and discuss strategies for adapting or modifying lecture-based classes to incorporate active learning activities. Marin Sullivan, Assistant Professor of Art History, will discuss her approach to incorporating active learning in lectures and participants will be invited to discuss the readings (below) and share their own experiences and challenges engaging students in active learning.
