How do you transform a boring lecture hall into a community of active, excited, and engaged learners? Experience how we turned our large enrollment LIB 1600 course into a dynamic space for active, skills-based playful learning. In this session, participants will experience four classroom-tested hands-on strategies, games, and interactive activities that can be integrated into any information literacy curriculum. Walk away with a toolkit of strategies and real-world examples to personalize any classroom, no matter how large, and make the learning engaging and fun.
Participants will: 1) Design an interactive lesson using instructional strategies that engage large classrooms and audiences 2) Modify parts of their current curriculum to increase active engagement and memory retention through a pedagogy of play 3) Communicate and collaborate with other participants on different ways that they can reach large audiences made of diverse learners.
