Tips to Encourage Active Learning
Tips
- Ask students to state their expectations for the course.
- Some instructors require simple assignments to critique and share Websites on a particular topic or discipline. If you take the assignment a step further and require students to develop some deliverable where a group determines the critique score for each Web site - you will increase interaction and see more active learning.
- Pose the hard discussion questions requiring critical thinking and problem solving.
- Develop self-checking or mastery type quizzes to allow students to check their own understanding of the content.
- Ask students to teach a particular topic within the discipline to their peers.
- Encourage opinions supported by facts.
- Ask students to reflect on their own learning.
- Use simulations, case studies, role-plays, and real-life scenarios to prompt engagement with content.
- Use peer review.
- Develop shared writing assignments.
- Occasionally, quote student postings as a means of summarizing a discussion.
- Require students or groups to moderate discussion topics.
- Constantly encourage students.
