Implementing Active Learning Strategies into your practice

This workshop is based on a recent publication, Active Learning Strategies for Higher Education, The Practical Handbook, https://arrow.dit.ie/cherrpbook/1/

During the first half of the day seven strategies outlined in the book will be demonstrated, with hands on activities designed to keep the participants moving, thinking and interacting. This first session will facilitate sample Active Learning in practice, and help develop a personal definition for Active Learning within your own professional context.

Having mastered the art of Active Learning in session one, the afternoon session will focus on your own specific discipline. Here you will get an opportunity to create an action plan for implementing one or more of the strategies into your own practice. A means of measuring your chosen activities effectiveness will also be explored.
