Are you looking for a way to make labs, tutorials, or review sessions more engaging? In this one-hour workshop, teaching assistants will explore practical, game-based teaching strategies designed to increase student participation. Participants will be introduced techniques such as role play, team-based competitive games, and trivia that can be adapted across disciplines. Through hands-on examples and discussion, participants will gain practical ideas on how to integrate game-based approaches into tutorials, labs, classes, and review sessions.
