Overview
The importance of active learning in higher education is well-established. Research clearly shows that pedagogical strategies encouraging students to reflect, analyze, process, and discuss course concepts lead to increased motivation, learning, critical thinking, and engagement. Yet, despite these benefits, promoting active learning in the online classroom can be challenging. This webinar reviews a range of approaches that can be integrated into the synchronous and asynchronous online classroom to engage students as active collaborators in the teaching-learning dynamic. We will examine classroom assessment techniques and assignments that promote individual engagement with course material, questioning techniques that enliven asynchronous discussions, opportunities for active learning in videoconference sessions, feedback strategies that encourage active listening, instructional strategies to motivate critical thinking and cooperative learning approaches to promote problem-solving. Throughout our exploration, the emphasis will be on practical, easy-to-implement pedagogical strategies that allows you to transform your online classroom into an active learning environment.
