In this module I learned about the importance of Active Learning in an online environment to assist students to become engaged and to facilitate learning. The instructor becomes the facilitator of learning the concept and the student becomes accountable for their learning. I like the thought of using different active learning strategies including gaming, group activities and case studies. It is important for students to learn a concept (through active engagement) rather than just memorize it and then forget it. The Core Elements were also discussed I think reflective writing, peer teaching and games are very useful in accomplishing the goal of active learning.
