The League for Innovation will be offering a free webinar on Engaging College Students Using Active Learning Techniques on Thursday, Oct. 1, 11 a.m. to noon (CT). The presenter is Claire Howell Major, professor, Higher Education Administration, University of Alabama. Register for the webinar.

Knowledge of how students learn has grown significantly over the last few decades. In keeping with this trend, the quality and sheer amount of research on instructional strategies has also grown, and active learning has emerged as an instructional method that can improve learning outcomes for all students, including students from marginalized backgrounds and populations.

In this webinar, participants will learn about active learning techniques that have been shown to improve student learning in the college classroom. They will also learn about the K. Patricia Cross Academy, a website that provides information about active learning techniques that work in onsite, online or blended courses. Learn more about the webinar.
