Active learning, active learning, active learning... ok, I get it, active learning rocks. There is general agreement in higher education that active learning is more effective than passive learning in fostering deep and flexible knowledge. But what is active learning? What makes problem-based learning “active” and lecture “passive”? Seems like a reasonable question­­, it’s not. This session will address active learning first from research (the science), then from practice (the application). Once we know the science of active learning, we can proactively integrate active learning into our course’s teaching, learning, and curricula.
