Students develop critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and transferable skills through structured group work and technology-enhanced learning activities.

How to use
- It can be used to design full courses or individual sessions, implemented in both specialized SCALE-UP rooms and traditional lecture spaces, and adapted for online/blended delivery. It’s particularly valuable for course planning stages but can be referenced throughout the academic year.
- Faculty implementation requires initial familiarization with SCALE-UP principles (backward assessment design, flipped learning, strategic group formation, chunked learning, public thinking, and formative support). The guide provides structured support and practical examples to facilitate this transition. No specialized training is required, though peer support through the SCALE-UP community is available.
Teaching format tip
Lesson/Teaching Plans
Engage students as co-facilitators and content contributors rather than passive recipients. Students should prepare discussion questions and share relevant experiences that enrich planned activities. Build flexibility for organic learning moments that emerge from student interests. Use plans as frameworks for shared inquiry rather than rigid scripts.
