What is Active Learning? Does it work? If so, how can I introduce some
active learning exercises into my lecture without losing too much time (and
my mind)?

Abstract  If these questions appeal to you and feel relevant, you might
enjoy this mini-workshop on active learning. Our goal is to keep it simple
and introduce a few active and cooperative learning exercises that work (and
let participants share some that worked for them) so you can break up long
lectures and see if students understood what you just taught them.

Douglas B. Luckie is an Associate Professor jointly appointed in the Lyman
Briggs Residential College and in the Department of Physiology at Michigan
State University. He received his Ph.D. at the University of Virginia in
Molecular Physiology and completed his postdoctoral studies at Stanford
University in Human Biology. He is director of the Cystic Fibrosis Research
Lab and STEM Learning Lab. His research groups pursue both discipline-based
physiology research into pH abnormalities and invasive pathogens in the
disease, cystic fibrosis, as well as discipline-based education research
(DBER) into the use of visual models, interdisciplinary discourse and
inquiry laboratories to increase student higher-level learning in the
sciences.
