• How can active learning ensure success for all learners, recognizing the complexity of students' identities and experiences?
• How have flexible classroom spaces enabled active learning activities and opportunities?
• How do we engage students in active learning in fully online courses?
• How do classroom technologies (e.g. Panopto, student response systems) integrate with active learning pedagogies?
• What kinds of active learning are possible in large classes? Seminars? First year courses? Upper year courses?
• How does active learning in the classroom interconnect with course assessments?
• How can we use peer instruction as a form of active learning to engage students?

50-minute Presentations:听Designed for sessions that describe examples of creative approaches to teaching and learning and their impact on student learning, a conceptual tool that you have found useful, or a systematic inquiry that you may have conducted on the impact on student learning of a particular strategy.
