Active Learning Activities

Active learning activities are tailored to specific learning outcomes and content. They incorporate one or more of the evidence-based strategies. Structured to expose their theoretical underpinnings, the activities can be used by practitioners and researchers alike.

Health science

Students bring a rough draft of a written group project for peer evaluation and feedback

Health science

Using the Jigsaw strategy, students become an “expert” for one communicable disease through self-directed research.

Physics STEM

These mini-video projects require students to engage with course concepts and make connections to the world in which we live.

Physics STEM

Students learn to build a conceptual model describing a situation involving an accelerating charged particle.

Environmental science

In this activity, students learn to define sustainability and apply this to a single Montreal neighbourhood.

Biology STEM
