​11:00 AM-12:00 PM	High Energy Active Discussion Techniques Nancy Calder, Chair and Director- MLT, Associate Dean- Health Sciences ​Mike Stein, Instructional Designer Classroom discussions are powerful opportunities to engage students and get them to think critically. However, discussions are often dominated by just a few students while the rest of the class sits back and passively listens or “checks out” completely. Research has shown that millennials learn best through social learning and working in groups. So how do you get students to talk to each other? How can you ensure that all of your students are involved in the learning activities? This workshop will provide you with several techniques that you can use immediately to get students interacting with each other and your course content.	​
