Active Learning: Making the Most of “Lecture” Time

Lecture continues to be the most common mode of instruction in higher education. That doesn’t have to be a bad thing! You don’t have to full-on “flip your classroom” to make ample use of evidence-based methods for improving student learning. Whether you teach small or large classes, in-person or online, this seminar in the Certificate in University Teaching series is intended to build your toolbox of active learning strategies that can be applied across courses, reshaping “lecture” time to center student engagement in the process of learning. The seminar is led by Prof. Meredith Martin (Psychology).
