Active Learning

This online workshop uses a series of videos to describe how instructors can incorporate active learning in their courses. The workshop includes strategies and recommendations for getting started with active learning.

ABLConnect is an online database of active learning efforts in post-secondary classrooms. It was founded in early 2012 by Dustin Tingley, Professor of Government at Harvard University. Started through the Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS), ABLConnect is now run in collaboration with Harvard’s Bok Center for Teaching and Learning.

This handout graphically represents the relative complexity of different active learning techniques. It also provides brief descriptions for each of the activities on the continuum.
