Session Description: For 15 years, this popular educational session provides faculty an opportunity to learn about favorite classroom activities from colleagues and discover what they are doing to engage students using active methods. As a lot of changes have occurred in ecology and education over the past 15 years, we are particularly interested in presentations that highlight approaches that have grown in importance during this time-period. Examples could include flexible learning activities for in-person and remote learning, activities committed to advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice, or ones using the 4DEE framework. Instructors at all levels of experience are encouraged to participate. This session will break into small groups so that participants can discuss teaching challenges and strategies.
