Location: In-person (MC 2036)
Workshop description
Are you worried that active learning is incompatible with lecture-style instruction? That you have to choose between one and the other? In this workshop, we address these concerns, investigating a variety of "lecture breaks" that can be easily integrated between lecture segments without significant cost in instructional time. Along the way, we will examine the benefits of making lectures more interactive, in terms of student attention and recall. This workshop will be applicable to teaching in-person and online.
This workshop is offered on campus to allow you to practice in-person teaching skills or to model best practices for in-person teaching.
Workshop delivery
This session will take place on the Waterloo campus in room MC-2036.
