Abstract: Active learning techniques have been proven to enhance students’ long-term knowledge acquisition, retention and application. The course discussed in this session utilises an active learning approach for a large undergraduate core course with up to 900 students per semester and one particular experience from this class will be presented and facilitated. Topics covered in the course include global grand challenges (climate change, the future of work, and competing globally) and skills that are developed include project management, team collaboration, ethical decision-making and interpreting and presenting business information. The activity, and associated assessment, presented in this session is non-traditional using emergent/emerging/immersive technology and could be replicated for various courses (undergraduate, postgraduate, small / large classes, etc.).
