Chantal Levesque-Bristol and her team from Purdue University, was joined by bioCEED’s Lucas Jeno to facilitate the pre-conference workshop Using self-determination theory (SDT) to inform professional development, understand why active learning works, and foster the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL).
In the opening keynote How Norway went SoTL by Helen Bråten with friends, bioCEED students Ragnhild Gya, Mari Vold Bjordal and Sondre Olai Spjeld acted out a skit on active learning – giving voice to the students in a clear and humorous way.
