Transforming Learning: Teaching Activities for University Professors

Higher education is evolving, and so is the way we teach. Gone are the days of passive lectures being the sole focus of the classroom. Today, learning is about interaction, collaboration, and sparking curiosity. At EHL, we understand the power of hands-on, dynamic teaching approaches, which is why we’re excited to launch two new resources for our educators: the Activities Catalog for Preparatory Year Students and the Activities Catalog for Bachelor Students.

These catalogs are more than just collections of activities—they’re tools to inspire meaningful interactions, foster critical thinking, and turn classrooms into spaces of discovery. Whether you’re working with students at the start of their academic journey or guiding them through advanced concepts, these resources offer something valuable for every educator.

Why Learning Activities Matter

Engagement lies at the heart of impactful learning. Traditional lecture-based approaches, while effective for delivering information, often miss opportunities to nurture collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. Learning activities bridge this gap by:

• Boosting Engagement: Encouraging active participation to maintain focus and motivation.
• Fostering Collaboration: Promoting peer-to-peer learning through group discussions and teamwork.
• Building Critical Thinking: Challenging students to apply knowledge in real-world contexts.
• Addressing Diverse Learning Styles: Engaging visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners with activities like simulations, role-playing, and interactive games.

For educators, these activities go beyond content delivery—they create opportunities to connect with students, assess understanding, and experiment with new teaching methodologies.

About the Catalogs

Both catalogs are carefully tailored to the specific needs of their respective audiences, providing a diverse selection of activities, including icebreakers, debates, hands-on exercises, and case studies.

• The Activities Catalog for Preparatory Year Students supports foundational learning, with strategies designed to build confidence, encourage participation, and develop critical skills at the start of students’ academic journeys.
• The Activities Catalog for Bachelor Students focuses on advanced learning objectives, offering tools to cultivate analytical thinking, teamwork, and application of knowledge in complex scenarios.

Empowering Educators and Students Alike

Each activity in these catalogs is designed to be:

• Flexible: Adaptable to different class sizes, subjects, and teaching goals.
• Practical: Straightforward to implement with clear instructions.
• Engaging: Encouraging active and meaningful participation.

The benefits extend far beyond the classroom. Students develop critical skills such as problem-solving, leadership, and adaptability—valuable for their personal and professional lives. Professors gain insights into their students’ learning processes while exploring innovative teaching approaches that enrich their professional development.
