Abstract

The purpose of this panel is to take stock of the various active learning approaches in IT pedagogy at the post-secondary level being employed in the SIGMIS CPR community. The ultimate goal is to better understand the various active learning tools and techniques and when it makes sense to employ such approaches in the classroom. The panelists will give an overview of specific approaches they have employed in the classroom and share their insights from the experience. The panelists will also provide suggestions and examples for those who are interested in incorporating these pedagogical approaches in their teaching.
