  • 11/4 Teaching Talk on Active Learning

    You are invited to participate in a CETL teaching talk on “Active Learning.” The talk takes place on Friday, November 4th, 10:00 - 11:15 a.m., in ROWE 319.  This is one of a series of informal discussions aimed at sharing teaching concerns and discussing techniques and strategies with colleagues, experts, and CETL staff. 

    At this session, participants will discuss topics like

    • When to lecture vs. letting students learn on their own
    • Opening the lecture to increase active learning
    • Strategies to activate the classroom (projects, activities, etc.)
    • Specific things to consider
    • Overcoming obstacles to active learning

    All UConn instructors—graduate students, TAs, and APIRs, as well as adjunct, tenure-track and tenured faculty—are encouraged to attend. 

    Please email Stacey Valliere at CETL@uconn.edu (860-486-2686) to register.
