Active Learning Designer

Turn any topic into class time where students do the thinking.

Tell the Active Learning Creator what students should learn, how they’ll work (on their own, in pairs, in groups or as a whole class), how much time you have and how many students are in the room. It plans up to five activities that fit the time, then writes each one in full. You might get a game, a card sort, butcher’s paper work, a gallery walk, a jigsaw, a role play, a debate or an escape room. Each one comes with timed steps for you, instructions for students, every card, prompt or role ready to print and cut, the answers to listen for, debrief questions, and versions for online and large classes.

Run it with the built-in step timer, replace any activity you don’t like, edit anything, and download the pack for Word or print. From a finished set you can go straight to multiple choice questions or a follow-up worksheet.
