摘要:Communities of practice are supporting growth, development and collaboration in various environments. A new Chair in teaching and learning at Polytechnique Montreal, focusing their activities on active learning strategies, perceived useful and relevant to build a community of practice around this widespread academic topic. To achieve this goal, they built a repertoire of active learning strategies to stimulate meetings and encourage exchanges between engineering educators. The ultimate objective is to promote the use of active learning strategies, which are more effective than the traditional ones, to enable in-depth and lasting learning. Many success factors and integration challenges concerning this type of approach have been studied and are considered and addressed with this new instrument. Francophone teachers from all around the world, will be able to share their experiences with active learning in an engineering context as well as learn from and teach to others in the community. The platform’s effectiveness as a collaborative tool will be studied and measured with an action research protocol, analyzing quantitative and qualitative data.
