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.

Physics STEM

In groups, students create GIFs to demonstrate and explain how mechanic principles apply in real-life scenarios.

Health science

Before class, students read an article and gather 5 elements. In class, they "pool" findings and sort into categories.

Health science STEM

The purpose of this activity is to deepen students' understanding of cardiac pathophysiology.

Health science Interdisciplinary

In teams, students interact, share information on their profession, and create cases where each discipline is needed

Physics STEM

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

Applied arts Health science Social sciences

The purpose of this activity is to familiarize students with the potential of online tools for problem-solving.

Chemistry STEM

This activity takes a look at the environmental impact of mining and the quantification of environmental contaminants.

Chemistry STEM

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

Engineering STEM

In this semester-long activity, students design and analyze mine ventilation systems as well as problem-solving skills.
