Description
At many universities and colleges, the introduction of Active Learning Design is dramatically increasing for the support of student participation and comprehension of course content, leading to the creation of new classroom designs and structures. Through the use of active learning pedagogies and technology access, students are expected to develop skills and a clear understanding of content by collaborating with peers and using a variety of technologies available within the classroom environment to support their activities. While active learning is well-researched in the writing classroom, little is known about active learning design within the writing center and the benefits that active learning technologies hold for the support of writing center activities. For writing centers, the use of active learning technologies to support consultations is important to discuss as these technologies become more prevalent in classroom design.
During this roundtable discussion, participants will identify and discuss technologies used in their writing centers to support their sessions. From this starting point, participants will be led to discuss the use of active learning strategies during writing center sessions, with an emphasis towards the integration of active learning technologies.
