Workshops are two-hour sessions that should provide active learning for attendees. Participants will engage an issue, learn a new skill, or develop an action plan or other activity where hands-on learning is integral. Workshops should allow for significant involvement and contribution to the learning process from the participants, and the learning experience should excite and encourage the participants to fully engage in the learning process. Participants should leave the session with information to share with their home institutions.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Workshops are scheduled for two hours.
- Sessions are limited to 40 participants in order to provide a meaningful environment for active learning.
