4.0 Module Overview: Active and Interactive Learning
Active and Interactive Learning: What can my students "do" online?
Active learning is more than clicking links and buttons. Learning activities that require students to actively do something thoughtful with the concepts in your course (individually or in pairs or groups) improves learning and knowledge retention.
Learning Objectives
In this module, we will look at learning activities that require students to actively "do something" with the content and concepts and reflect on the doing (individually or in pairs or groups). By the end of this unit we hope that you will be able to:
- identify learning activities with different types of interaction (student↔content, student↔faculty, and student↔student)
- plan a mix of active learning activities leveraging different types of interaction to enhance your course
