Digital Projects in the Active Learning Classroom

Are you interested in digital, collaborative student projects? Is your classroom an active learning space? Have you considered working with librarians to use the Catalyst as a collaborative and digital space with your students? During this workshop, staff from Digital Scholarship Initiatives (DSI) will introduce the new library space, The Catalyst, and will focus on potential student projects and the teaching of digital skills for students across campus. Staff and faculty from the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) will also discuss active learning and active learning spaces on campus. They will give examples of hands-on activities that teach digital skills and will center active learning as a potentially digital practice.

Strategies to Re-engage Students After Spring Break

Welcome back to campus! Spring Break has come and gone and now is a great opportunity to consider new ways to re-engage students after the break. I came across this resource on active learning strategies a number of years ago and have referred back to it many times. The CELT version of this resource is available for download via 226 Active Learning Techniques (PDF) link.

It has over 220 active learning ideas to choose from (which can be a little overwhelming), but the list is categorized by what action the instructor takes as well as the student actions. It further organizes the activities based on overall class size and by student group size (i.e. pairs or small groups). It’s worth a quick look to see if there is something you might want to try in your course over the next few weeks.
