Teaching for Student Success Institute – Active Learning
Join your colleagues in working through the Teaching for Student Success Active Learning Modules. Building on what we’ve learned through efforts like IU’s Mosaic Initiative, the active learning modules address day-to-day practices that help both instructors and students engage meaningfully in active learning classrooms. These modules cover a variety of contexts, from simple active learning strategies focused on reading, note-taking, and information literacy to high-impact educational practices and extensive collaborative projects. This online institute is being led by the UCET Assistant Director, Jay VanderVeen.
