If you teach smaller classes (under ~60 students) and are looking for ways to engage your students in the learning process that go beyond the standard lecture, then this is the workshop for you! This session will introduce you to a range of tried-and-true activity ideas and effective practices for running them, while creating opportunities for you to reflect on their applicability for your own teaching. You’ll leave this session with some new “tools” to add to your existing teaching toolkits.

At the end of this session, you will be able to:

Describe a series of learning activities
Explain some effective practices for facilitating activities
Reflect on which activities and facilitation techniques you might want to refine or add to your teaching tool kit
