Abstract
We have years of research demonstrating the benefits of active learning for students. But it can be extra difficult to implement within the constraints of a large course. How can I ask 100 students to participate in a discussion? What free polling software can accommodate that many people? How do I facilitate group activities when the chairs don’t move? Moving beyond “think-pair-share,” this session will suggest a range of practical strategies and tools that can help you get students participating effectively in even the largest of classes.
