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.

Psychology Social sciences

Teams explore Gardner's Theory, present one component, summarize presentation content, and conduct a self-assessment.

Physics STEM

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

Biochemistry STEM

The aim of this activity is to apply course materials to real-world problems using Case Studies.

Environmental science

The aim of this activity is to provide students with an overview of survey design and execution.

Physics STEM

Students learn to build a conceptual model describing a situation involving an accelerating charged particle.

Environmental science

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