What active teaching methods can be used with (very) large groups? Is it possible to use a variety of teaching strategies in a lecture hall?

Lecture as part of the Professional Development Day organized by the Joint Service for Support of Educational Innovation (CSIP).

The CSIP is hosting a conference on active learning methods in the context of lecture halls and very large student groups.

The goal is to discuss the following questions: How can we combine pedagogical transformation with lecture-style teaching? How can we encourage interaction in large groups? How can we develop diverse teaching strategies in lecture halls? And above all, what does this mean in practice?

To answer these questions, we are pleased to welcome Emmanuel Sylvestre, Director of the Center for Teaching Support (CSE) at the University of Lausanne.

The purpose of this conference is to foster discussion on not only how but also why to implement active and diverse teaching methods and techniques in the unique context of large classes, as well as on the implications for students and teachers.
