Activating teaching methods

How can you encourage students to actively participate in your course?

In the module ‘Activating teaching methods(Dutch only) you will find a collection of activating teaching methods that you can use during (online) lectures or study groups. You will also find practical tips from fellow Humanities lecturers.

The five themes are:

  • collaborative learning,
  • checking knowledge,
  • preparing for lecture,
  • group discussion,
  • opinion forming.

Need more inspiration? In this tool, you can find even more teaching methods and filter them by group size and learning objective.

At the faculty, a number of rooms have been specially designed for activating teaching: Active Learning Classrooms.
