Low-prep, high-engagement assignments and activities encourage active learning and participation in the classroom without spending hours on planning.
We've curated almost 50 assignments and activities from several sources so that you don't have to! The collection has been organized based on four goals:
- Activities in the Connect category encourage students to connect their ideas with other material and think about why the course content matters.
- The Engage category emphasizes active participation from students, both with the course material and other students
- Activities in the Reflect category encourage students and instructors to reflect on various aspects of the course, including their own strengths and weaknesses within the learning process.
- The Assess category aims to encourage students to consider what they already know and what they hope to learn.
- Activities in the Welcome category aid in fostering an inclusive environment for all students.Ěý
