Hosted by Rhodes State College in Lima, Ohio
Conference Date: Friday, October 14, 2016
Theme: “Creating in the Classroom: Enjoying Experiential Learning”
How can we as educators influence students to come to college excited about
learning? One of the greatest difficulties we face as faculty is actively engaging
stu-dents with the learning process. There are few greater challenges than
transform-ing a traditional classroom or an online classroom into a stimulattransform-ing and enjoyable
active learning opportunity. Experiential learning can be one remedy to the
poten-tially dull process of disseminating information to our students. What fun active
learning activities have you used to engage students in their own learning process?
Please consider sharing one of your active learning strategies. Proposals should
reflect teaching methods which foster an active and engaging learning experience,
such as:
- Student collaboration
- Supplemental learning
- Field study (local “study abroad”)
- Technology for learning
- Service-based learning strategies
- Use of film / video
- Internships / externships
- Use of multiple intelligences
- Guided discovery strategies
- Use of games
- Study abroad
- Student led activities
- Civic engagement activities
- Peer mentor / tutor / coach
