Engaging Students in Learning: An Online Workshop
In this online workshop, you will see examples of active learning at U-M, reflect on how these techniques could be applied in your own classroom, and engage with fellow graduate students to address any obstacles to implementing the techniques. Specifically, you will:
- Watch a series of short video clips showing U-M instructors using a variety of teaching and learning activities to engage students in active learning. (about 35 minutes total)
- Write a reflective response to the videos you watched. (400-800 words)
- Read and comment on at least two responses written by other participants.
- Complete an online survey about your experience as a participant.
It should take about 90-120 minutes to complete all of the activities.

- Step 3 must be completed between Monday, 11/25 and Thursday, 11/28.
- Step 4 must be completed between Friday 11/29 and Monday 12/2.
