Active learning is founded on the idea that students must actively engage with new content and skills in order to internalize and make sense of it in a meaningful and lasting way. The question with which instructors, staff and administrators in post-secondary education must grapple is how to create educational experiences that not only promote, but foster active engagement. How do we convey the importance and necessity of rejecting passive models of learning in favour of more active ones? What people, places and practices can be used to actively engage students in the education process? How do we set students up for success both in and beyond the classroom? What roles do students, staff, teachers and administrators play in student engagement?
Join Teaching and Learning Services for our annual symposium to explore the answers to these questions and to find out what the Teaching and Learning Council has been up to.
More details, including a tentative agenda, will be released shortly.
