Celebrating Active Learning:
Shared Missions and Practices in Models of Student Engagement
Calling practitioners of active learning curricular models to share stories, pillars of practice, challenges, successes, wisdom!
These models include Cooperative Learning (CL), Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Supplemental Instruction (SI/PASS/PALS), Team-Based Learning (TBL), Emerging Scholars (ES, Workshop Mathematics, Math Excel), Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL), Process-Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL), and Learning Assistants (LA), among others.
We invite you to submit proposals for presentations and workshops to explore practices, successes and limitations of any of these models through the following focus questions:
-How is the model’s framework used and adapted at your campus?
-What is the training or preparation of facilitators and instructors?
-How is the model(s) assessed at your institution?
-How does your institution support the model(s)?
-How is AI incorporated in the model(s)?
-What are long-term benefits of the model(s) as viewed by alumni?
-What are other highlights of the model(s) currently in use at your institution?
Submitting a proposal
The Peer-Led Team Learning International Society’s Fourteenth Annual Conference will provide a forum for practitioners and researchers, including instructors, learning specialists/developers, administrators, peer leaders and student facilitators, and others, to share practices in active learning curricular models.
- Talks and workshop presentations can take place in-person or virtually. However, all talks and workshops should be planned to engage both in person participants and virtual participants.
- All submissions will be peer-reviewed. The presentation abstract should clearly articulate how the presentation will address the focus questions(s) above for the benefit of the conference audience
Presentations – in person or virtual – will be in one of the following formats:
- Short talks: 20-minute presentation, 10 minutes Q&A.
- Workshops: intended for interactive presentations, 60 minutes.
