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.

Mathematics

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

STEM Mathematics

Interdisciplinary STEM Physics

This activity helps students improve their quality of reading annotations using platforms like Perusall.

Languages and Literature Interdisciplinary

In this icebreaker activity, students answer questions about themselves, which is included in a anonymous class profile.

STEM Engineering

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

Interdisciplinary

Environmental science

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

Environmental science

In this semester-long activity, students visit a farm several times to engage in a critical analysis of that ecosystem.

STEM Engineering

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

Environmental science

The aim of this project is to get students thinking about facts and concepts related to rivers in the field (in real life!).
