I liked the analogy of looking at a teacher more as a coach than a lecturer. The teacher is a guide to help the students learn by doing. This is Active Learning. Providing hands on activities when you can and let students lead discussions are great ways to incorporate active learning.
Active Learning is being in control of one's own learning with an instructor as the facilitator. The student's role is to be active in group participation, peer reviews, and all components of the lesson with overall student accountability in their own learning. It is also important for the instructor to have clear, structured instructions for students to follow.
Students are responsible for their own learning and it the instructors responsibility to find creative ways to facilitate the process.
Active learning is instructor guided and the learning is mostly the students responsibility. I need to engage studentsin a way that promotes self- directed learning
This module focuses on two types of student's approach: active learning and learner-centered approach. Active Learning moves students from passive learning to actively being involved in the acquisition of knowledge. This pedagogy method puts the responsibility on the student's shoulders rather than on the instructor.
The learner-centered approach to students has been a change in education. Students are expected to collaborate, cooperate, and to participate in problem-solving learning. In a learner-centered environment, students are self-directed while the instructor serves as a guide rather than a lecturer. Students will take charge of their own learning by practicing self-reflection and individual accountability.
In person I prefer to use problem-based learning in my courses, as it lends itself to the material. In my field, problem solving production issues is the very core of our curriculum, as well as the mainstay of careers in imaging.
However many mof my problem-solving lessons involve significant laboratory time, and I am working to adapt them to the remote environemnt.
When I was a student, I really enjoyed problem-based learning, as it made you "discover" information and putting it to use helps cement concepts.
While the concept of active learning looks like it will definitely be a change from what I am accustomed to, I can definitely see how the student will benefit from this approach; just not sure how to get started!
Give them a challenge ,impart the knowedge give them the tools ,let them work it out be watchful be encouraging if it doesn't work have them check it give them a hint see if they can figure it out most people like having to solve the problem that means they have found the path you pointed out and most of the time they retain the knowledge because you made them look for it and they discovered it on their own without you having to hold their hand when they get that aha moment you know you taught them something they won't forget
I learned about active learning and how different types of components can be integrated such as cooperative learning and problem based learning.
I have learned that students who engage in problem solving activities will retain more information. I can put my students in pairs in a breakout room and have them discuss an EMS scenario and how they would work together as EMR partners to manage the situation.
Students who are older, or coming back to the classroom, may not be as comfortable with the active learning teaching style.
The 11 core elements were helpful in comparing what has already been implemented versus my areas of opportunity. Active learning methods (Cooperative, problem based and collaborative)- helpful in reaching and engaging students with different learning styles thereby improving comprehension
I like the idea of active learning so that students can learn themselves instead of being bored sitting and listening to me talk for hours.
Active Learning is being in charge of one's own learning with an instructor as the facilitator of learning. The student's role is to be active in group participation, peer reviews, technology with overall student accountability in their own learning.
What I have learned from this module are main principles in active learning such as positive interdependence, self-directed learning, and individual accountability. It is important to have a clear, structured instructions for students to follow.

I like the idea of active learning in the classroom. This gives the student more responsibility to go to online sources such as the internet. This will enhance the students learning.
I agreed that active learning is one of the best methods to get the students involved.
Reflective writing appears to be a wonderful strategy. The strategy, I believe, is great for me to use on a topic or a concept the students have little background on but allow them to complete a reflective writing piece before coming to class. This way, the discussion has the opportunity to be more engaing.
I noticed in Class EL112, it touched briefly on Chickering and Gamson (1987), "Seven Principles of Good Practice in Undergraduate Education". It didn't go into detail, so I researched the "Seven Principles of Good Practice in Undergraduate Education". I found each principle is very important.
In this class, i noticed that this class (CL113) touching into what the "Seven Principles of Good Practice in Undergraduate Education" are. I find these Principles to be very important for online/undergraduate teaching.
- encourages contact between student and faculty,
- develops reciprocity and cooperation among students,
- encourages active learning,
- gives prompt feedback,
- emphasizes time on task,
- communicates high expectations, and
- respects diverse talents and ways in learning.
I'm attaching the link, I used, for further explanations on each Principle.
