Session Description

Whether you consider a large class to have 30 or 300 students, how do you engage all students? In this session, we will explore a suite of activities meant to engage students through peer interaction. We will review the design, implementation, and assessment of learning activities - applicable to any discipline - wherein students learn with and from their peers. Such exercises are intended to be high impact and low stress for both you and your students.
