I learned that active learning moves the student from passitive to active learning. Active learning, in my opinion promotes more learning and retention of information in a fun environment

Fun is important in the learning process because some instructors may not believe that having fun while learning is not that very important. I also learned that the three different classifications of active learning are:

1. Collobrative Learning

2. Cooperative Learning

3. Problem-based Learning

I learned from this module that using student course evaluations are important but not enought to completely and accurately revising a course. Course feedback from student is important and valuable but feedback from the stakeholders is also needed.

I have learned many things from this module but the most important item I learned is the importance of using good classroom rubrics.

Well developed rubrics can go a long way in enhancing student learning.

Is there any situation where the syllabus may be too long for good classroom learning?

Having taught Online courses for several years I have found in each year of teaching one critically important item is a well developed syllabus for the course.

In this module more clarification on the concept of "scaffolding" was insightful.Poor scaffolding can create poor learning.

Students that are constantly working behind are soon to become casualities of poor performance. The instructor should constantly monitor the class and identify these students. Once identified constant and persistent communication reminders are important.

It is clear to me that course consistency is very important to have a good learning experience for the student and the instructor.
