10 + 10 Pop-Up Series: Five Factors That Accelerate Active Learning
Tue 10/27 • 10AM - 10:20AM PDT
While the benefits of active learning are clear, sustainably implementing it may still seem elusive. In this session, participants will reflect on current active learning practices, analyze five factors that accelerate active learning, and consider ways to integrate (or amplify) these factors in their classrooms.
Presenter: Kem Saichaie, Executive Director at the Teaching and Learning Center (TLC)
Keywords: student-centered, engagement, practice made visible, active learning
Each academic quarter, the educational designers and developers of the UCLA Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) offer via Zoom a weekly series of seven pop-up sessions - each just 10 minutes in length - on focused, specific topics related to course design, teaching, learning, and learning assessment. The additional “+10” in the series title refers to an optional 10 minutes that follow each presentation for Q&A and discussion. These 10 + 10 sessions will take place at 10am (PT) every Tuesday in the quarter, from Week 2 through Week 8.
These sessions are open to all UCLA instructors—including faculty, lecturers, instructors of record, graduate student instructors, and postdoctoral scholars. Please direct any inquiries to instructorsupport@teaching.ucla.edu.
