The alt-classroom: engaging learners using active learning techniques

This keynote presentation will kick off this year's Teaching Symposium, a long-standing component of the annual American Society of Biomechanics meeting. This presentation will provide attendees with background on the benefits of engaging learners by integrating active learning techniques (ALTs) into the classroom and will then provide examples of the types of ALTs that instructors may want to consider. ALTs can range from semester-long project-based modules to short minute-papers, making ALTs a great way for all instructors to increase engagement and improve student learning in any class they may be teaching.
