The Central Curriculum Committee is involved in a multi-phased project on the best ways to promote Active Learning in the CPS courses. This project, which is in alignment with the SQU 2025 Operational Plan, is of vital significance to the CPS and beyond. This site was created as an outcome of this project and with the purpose of enhancing the use of active learning in the CPS and beyond.

Title of the Project: Enriching CPS Courses with Active Learning Techniques and Student-Centred Activities

Aims of the project:

Enriching CPS Courses with Active Learning Techniques and Student-Centred Activities through:

1. Identifying best-practice active learning (AL) techniques for courses through conducting and reporting a relevant literature review;

2. Determining the appropriate AL techniques at course level by conducting and reporting a gap analysis exploring the gaps in the CPS courses;

3. Designing ways to encourage the use of AL techniques to achieve learning outcomes by developing a framework that lists and fosters integration of appropriate AL techniques into courses based on the outcomes of the literature review and gap analysis tasks;

4. Training the teaching faculty on active learning;

5. Raising student awareness about active learning; and

6. Developing a technology-enhanced active learning (TEAL) classroom.
