It is good practice for instructors to lead class by engaging their students in a conversation, but the tendency, if left unchecked, is for a few bright extroverts to dominate the conversation.  In this talk, I will explain strategies for reducing the number of spectators and increasing the number of active participants in the class-wide conversation, without forcing anyone to participate.  Strategies focus on students’ preparation, opportunities and, perhaps most importantly, disinhibition.

While lecture has its place, both individual and cooperative active learning techniques have proven to increase attentiveness and retention, while deepening learning in classrooms, even those with over 100 students. During the hands-on workshop, you will experience many possibilities of active student-centered learning from the student’s perspective. We will also investigate solutions to common challenges of leading a large classroom.

When active learning is transformed into a collaborative effort among students, not only is learning further deepened, but individual accountability is also amplified. Because active collaborative learning (ACL) techniques often require more prep time and restructuring of class time, we will investigate best practices and the suitability for large classrooms. Experience ACL from the student’s perspective to learn first-hand how to implement these techniques into your courses.
