Active learning is self-reflexive, process-oriented, and personal, and should provide students the opportunity to assess their own learning. Such learning also creates the chance for teachers to become learners themselves: about the material, about students, and about teaching & learning. How can we create such self-reflexive learning experiences?
One simple and adaptable method is by using low-stakes, informal writing. This interactive workshop will serve as a primer to the benefits of using informal writing as a tool to enhance student learning and to the many options for designing such assignments. Such informal (often non-graded or evaluated) writing assignments can improve student learning across all levels and abilities, in a variety of courses (seminar, large lecture, lab/studio), and in any discipline.
A light lunch will be served.
