Making Learning Exciting Challenge

When students actively participate in their learning, more meaningful connections are created between teachers, students, and the course content. However, growth in student numbers means teachers need to be more creative in how they design and deliver learning materials and activities. If the VU community works together to envision meaningful activation, students will feel more supported by reprioritizing active participation.
