Why Attend?

Do you find it challenging to get students to engage in the classroom or participate in asynchronous activities? Are your teaching strategies feeling a bit stale, or are you unsure how to design learning experiences that truly resonate? This interactive and collaborative workshop is your chance to refresh your approach and create context-rich, sense-making activities that inspire engagement, foster belonging, and enhance student understanding.

In the world of Active Blended Learning (ABL), meaningful student engagement is more than a buzzword, it’s the key to deep learning. This workshop will help you rethink your approach, using principles of constructive alignment and tools like the Activity Creator Kit to design learning activities that prioritise context over content.

During this hands-on session, you’ll:

• Reflect on who your learners are, with an emphasis on inclusivity and fostering a sense of belonging.

• Explore strategies to create context-rich activities that empower students to make sense of what they’re learning.

• Build confidence and practical skills to design and implement engaging activities with components from the enABLe toolkit.

Whether you’re looking to revitalise your teaching, improve engagement, or simply try something new, this workshop offers the tools, inspiration, and space to collaborate with colleagues and grow your practice.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

• Apply the principles of Active Blended Learning (ABL) to creative activity design.

• Reflect on learner diversity and inclusion, fostering a sense of belonging through tailored activities.

• Develop strategies to prioritise context-rich, sense-making activities over content delivery.
