Recent Patterns
Collaborating with online whiteboards in large groups
This pattern is concerned with the use of shared online whiteboards to support synchronous small group collaborative activities (Handley, 2023) in large classes.
One-minute paper at scale
This pattern reverses the usual teacher-student power dynamic by allowing students to give anonymous feedback to the teacher on their learning experience. The teacher responds to the input through the formulation and execution of immediate changes to the class.
Active learning in large workshops
This pattern is concerned with active learning in large workshops and can be used with any large cohort where a suitable large flat-floor space is available. It supports learning and teaching at scale as it provides components that can be sequenced to support active learning in large groups.
