In a Quescussion, learners must engage with an idea using only questions. The instructor starts the discussion with an open-ended question. Participants then respond with ONLY open-ended questions (if someone makes a statement, the whole class shouts “Statement!”). Ideally, every student/learner should contribute, and the questions may be recorded.
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.
Timing & Pacing Allow think time before the discussion begins. Avoid starting without a brief preparation period.
Social Interaction Allow written question preparation before discussion. Offer written submission as an alternative to verbal participation.
Information Accessibility Provide the discussion topic and background materials in writing before the activity. Consider recording questions to support follow-up.
Ways to Participate/Express Allow question contribution verbally, in writing, or through a digital submission tool.
