It helps create a three-way interaction among the students, the subject content, and the instructor. In this webinar, we will discuss a broad spectrum of research-based active learning strategies that can be adapted into different learning environments and disciplines.

Join this webinar to learn how first year Spanish students explored various cities and countries virtually, using their smart phone and Google Street and Google Cardboard Apps. This allowed students to feel immersed in a real culture by walking down streets, viewing billboards and signs on the street, as well as seeing people going about their real daily lives. Students reported feeling more engaged and instructors felt the classes were more interactive and dynamic. Come and learn about the challenges and solutions to these challenges from two seasoned instructors.
This event aligns with the following IUSM Academy of Teaching Scholars program competencies: Instructional Technology (IT).

How can we encourage students to engage deeply in all of their potential learning experiences, whether in the classroom or in experiential or informal settings? How can we design in- and out-of-class learning opportunities that will elicit student engagement?
In this workshop, participants will consider ways to close the divide between traditional academic learning experiences and those in the workplace and community. Participants will then participate in a series of activities that allow them to apply the ideas to design a meaningful, evidence-based approach in their own context.
