Wonder Twin Powers, Activate! Boosting Engagement with Small & Large Group Active Learning

Transform your teaching with the dynamic duo of active learning! Just like the Wonder Twins, small and large group strategies are powerful on their own, but when combined, they create heroic levels of engagement and deeper learning.

In this interactive, beginner-friendly session, you’ll explore how to “activate” these two approaches to keep learners thinking, talking, and participating. We’ll break down what each group type does best, and discuss easy strategies you can try in your own course.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the basic differences between small group and large group active learning strategies.
• Identify the benefits of combining small and large group activities to engage learners.
• Discuss a simple way to add a small group/large group activity into your course.
