The Active Learning Community of Practice (CoP) meets monthly to examine various learning preferences, explore active learning strategies, and review our implementation of those practices. Members of this CoP will consider barriers to learning that may exist in our classrooms and work together to develop pedagogical tools to help reduce those barriers, collectively generating specific topics of focus for the semester’s meetings. This CoP will provide a supportive community for those working to create more inclusive educational spaces on Creighton’s campuses.
