In addition to strategies for using lecture, discussion, writing, and technology in larger classes, other small-group options are available to encourage active learning. Some of these options include relatively quick and simple in-class exercises like "think-pair-share" while others such as collaborative learning teams require considerable advance planning and careful monitoring. Some key questions and Web resources for using other active learning strategies in larger classes include:

• What to Do in Addition to Lecturing?: How can I improve my lecturing with activities that engage my students with the course material?  

• Beating the Numbers Game: Effective Teaching in Large Classes: What in-class exercises and out-of-class group projects can actively involve my students and develop a sense of community among them?

• Working in Groups: How can the students in my larger class collaborate on projects in small groups?

• Team Learning Defined: What are the elements of effective team learning for larger classes?
