One of the things I found interesting in this module was the discussion of how active learning can allow adult students to feel a sense of control over their learning. I teach an online course, and I have noticed that each semester a small subset of my students struggle with their lack of control over the course content. This seems to be amplified by the less-personal nature of online courses. I'd love to try implementing some active learning activities in my Skype-style help sessions with the students. Any suggestions?
