How can we move beyond passive delivery and create more engaging, participatory learning experiences?

In this session, colleagues will share practical examples of how they are using tools such as Mentimeter, H5P, and Xerte to support interaction, encourage student voice, and structure meaningful classroom activities. From large lectures to smaller teaching settings, you’ll hear how these approaches help students prepare, contribute, work collaboratively, and reflect more actively during sessions.

Presenters will reflect on what has worked in their contexts—such as using structured questioning and peer discussion to deepen engagement, designing pre-session interactive materials to support flipped learning, and gathering student expectations or prior knowledge to shape teaching. They will also explore approaches to building confidence for quieter students through scaffolded participation, using regular check-ins to break up longer lectures, and creating opportunities for reflection that help students connect ideas across a course.

This session offers a range of adaptable ideas and honest insights for anyone interested in making their teaching more interactive and engaging.
