How to activate students in the tutorial

Introduction

In this MicroLab you will deliver and experience numerous teaching activities such as leading discussions, icebreakers, think-pair-share, etc., that will help you create more engaging discussions and interactive (online) tutorials.

Target group and required prior knowledge

This MicroLab is intended for TAs and Tutors that are interested to further develop their teaching skills.

Form and time investment   

This MicroLab has a blended character. You will start in the online Canvas environment containing materials describing various activating teaching methods. The preparatory assignment will consist of preparing a short teaching session using one of those methods (about 3 hours of total preparation time). During the physical workshop (3h) participants will practically apply preparatory assignment and practice how to deliver activating teaching situations.

Earn an Edubadge

If you made the preparation and participated in the session, you can earn an Edubadge. This is a digital, visual certificate which you can share on e.g. LinkedIn. Interested parties can immediately click on the certificate to find out what you have done to achieve the Edubadge.
