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.

Mathematics

In groups, students learn about orthogonality and cross products by creating geometrical shapes.

STEM Mathematics

STEM Biochemistry

STEM Engineering

This activity uses real life case study examples to give students a more in-depth look at analytics.
