Creating Inclusive & Engaging Learning Activities

Creating Inclusive & Engaging Learning Activities

Tuesday, August 23 | 11:00 am to 12:00 pm

Facilitator: Paul Maher

 

Learning activities are a key means to engage students in coursework and frame what they ultimately learn within the course. Well-structured learning activities and assessments are a powerful way to maintain engagement during scheduled class time and support students’ performance within your assessments.  This session will explore a range of topics alongside key Brightspace features you can use to develop your course:

  • Lessons from learning science

  • Learner efficacy, motivation & value

  • Authentic & alternative assessment

  • Gamification & interaction

  • Active learning

  • Reflection & Metacognition

 

This session will feature an active component and provide an opportunity for participants to share experiences, insights, and challenges. If format or timing does not suit, consider instead a one-on-one consultation with Paul Maher.
