Students write either a question or response to a question on scrap paper. The paper is then crumpled and thrown across the room to another student, who reads the question and offers a response. Crumple and rethrow several times to gather answers.
Co-Curricular (experiences outside of the formal classroom but contribute to student learning) Please contact us at activelearning@uga.edu with an example to include!
Universal Design for Active Learning
Universal Design for Active Learning UDL and active learning share a common goal: centering all students in the learning experience. When designing an activity, UDL‑informed instructors consider how the activity could be open to all students while preserving the core learning goal.
Physical Considerations If physical movements are not viable for all students, offer an anonymous digital submission alternative (e.g., a digital form).
Timing & Pacing Allow sufficient time to formulate a meaningful question. Avoid rushing the writing phase.
Social Interaction Maintain anonymity throughout to preserve psychological safety and lower social stakes.
Information Accessibility Post questions and answers online after class so all students can review the discussion.
Ways to Participate/Express Allow submission in writing on paper or through a digital form.
