Interactive Lectures (CTE1260)

Thursday, June 26, 2025 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

Location: In-person (MC 2036)

Facilitator: Brandon Dickson (CTE) and Sonell Malik (CTE)

Workshop description

Are you worried that active learning is incompatible with lecture-style instruction? That you have to choose between one and the other?  In this workshop, we address these concerns, investigating a variety of "lecture breaks" that can be easily integrated between lecture segments without significant cost in instructional time.  Along the way, we will examine the benefits of making lectures more interactive, in terms of student attention and recall. This workshop will be applicable to teaching in-person and online.

Workshop delivery

This session will take place on the À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ campus in room MC-2036.

Registration

  • Registration for June workshops will open in mid-May

  • Participants will receive an attendance credit towards the Fundamentals program if they stay for the full live session.

Cancellations

This workshop has limited enrolment spots and often has a waiting list. If you have registered but can't attend the workshop, please cancel your registration well in advance through the registration system, so that someone else can fill your spot.
