In this short video, Meaghan and Gera, Experiential Learning Specialists at the Centre, share three practical strategies for engaging students in large classes: class energizers, gamification, and student cohorts. These easy-to-implement approaches are designed to foster participation, build connection, and enhance learning in large classroom settings.

At The Centre, we are excited to share this new video series designed to support faculty with clear, practical ideas that strengthen teaching and save time. Each short video highlights relevant Centre services and consultation opportunities, making it easier to connect with support when it is most needed.
Released monthly, the series explores key teaching topics, including boosting engagement in large classes, quick wins for online engagement in UM Learn, designing assessment in the era of GenAI, inclusive teaching and syllabus design, alternative assessment approaches, creating a teaching dossier, and providing effective feedback in clinical settings.
Concise, accessible, and reusable; this series reflects our commitment to collaboration and ongoing engagement. We invite you to explore the series and connect with us as we continue these focused conversations on teaching and learning.
We are pleased to launch the series with our first video, Boosting Engagement in Large Classes, available below.
