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.

Languages and Literature

In this multiple-class activity, students write three 250 texts, then learn to revise their writing based on peer feedback.

STEM Engineering

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

STEM Chemistry

Students use a matching game to pair chemical compounds and their characteristics using a set of question cards.

Environmental science

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

Languages and Literature

In this multiple-class activity, students write a “texte expressif”, applying theory & grammatical lessons learned in class.

STEM Chemistry

In this activity, students are presented with the concepts of nomenclature in organic chemistry to encourage self learning.

STEM Engineering

This activity's goal is to familiarize students with the peer review process and teach them how to accept peer criticism.

STEM Chemistry

Using cards in a "Chemicard' deck, students determine which ionic compounds are most likely to form.
