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.

STEM Mathematics

Students are given four 2-stage tests throughout a semester; 1st stage written individually, 2nd students work in groups.

Applied arts

Students map key movements in Architecture and Design alongside social, political, artistic, economic, and tech milestones.

Interdisciplinary Health science

In teams, students from each discipline complete a patient interview then contrast their approaches.
