Encourages Active Learning
In order to maximize student learning the learner must be engaged and active in the learning process. The best way to accomplish this is to have the student be active by doing. A student will learn the most and best by actually taking the knowledge imparted by the instructor and incorporating into an activity or project that uses the knowledge. Below are some examples for particular classes and how a student can be active in the learning process.
Mathematics a student could take part in elluminate sessions with the instructor where he/she could take part in demonstrating a problem.
Web Authoring class a student could build his/her own website.
Instructional Design the student must build his/her own instructional design project.
Designing web based instruction a student must build a lesson using technology such as elluminate, camtasia, or jing.
We all learn by doing and being an active part of our education.
Can you think of an example of active learning that YOU would incorporate into your online course?
