Active Learning in the Online Classroom: Examples and Ideas

Active Learning in the Online Classroom: Examples and Ideas | Future of Learning | Scoop.it
Someone recently told me that they heard of an approach where all the boring content delivery lecture material is put online so that more active learning can take place in the classroom. They then asked me if this was the best approach for online learning? What they were describing is blended learning or the “flipped” classroom approach. Good blended classrooms have a significant amount of active learning. The active learning philosophies need not only occur in the classroom however. There are ways to leverage the online space to include active learning. Active learning is basically any part of the course that involves active “interaction” instead of just passive tasks. It engages learners into activities that help them clarify, investigate, apply, create and integrate knowledge. Consider the human-factor: any types of human interactions such as Learner-to-Learner or Learner-to-TeachingTeam qualify. However, learners can also interact with their physical or virtual environment and that can be active. Just because you have an online course, it doesn’t mean you have to design learning activities that only involve reading web-pages or textbooks all day. Here’s a list of ideas, across four categories, for active learning online

Jose Barrera's curator insight, September 10, 2023 7:06 PM

I found this article an interesting read. It discusses the concept of active learning in online classrooms, emphasizing that effective learning is not just about passive consumption but involves active interaction. It categorizes active learning into four types: Learner-to-Learner, Learner-to-Teaching Team, Learner-to-Virtual Environment, and Learner-to-Physical Environment, offering specific examples for each like group brainstorming, problem-based learning, and real-life data collection. The article encourages educators to align active learning activities with specific learning outcomes, stating that if the activity serves a clear educational purpose, then it's likely to be effective.

"Taking action is the key to increasing your creativity. But how, you ask?

 

"Creativity is simply connecting two unrelated elements together and SCAMPER is one of the best tools to stimulate this way thinking. Robert Eberle played with Alex Osborn's list (Osborn is the marketing guru who invented "brainstorming") and developed SCAMPER, an acronym for seven active verbs to trigger ideas. Here's how creativity consultant David Straker explains them:"

Excellent techniques to promote creativity in many settings.

Rosemary Tyrrell, Ed.D.'s curator insight, February 21, 2018 1:22 PM
We are finding it challenging when students use third-party resources instead of our curriculum. The problem is students don't always select the best learning resources. 
 
Sharon Berman's curator insight, March 19, 2018 5:21 PM
Gen Z are the first generation to have had access to digital technology from the outset of their lives.  It makes sense that they turn to technology first then for all aspects of their lives.

The challenge is making sure the coaches and mentors are providing the support these young people need.

Are they rushing to grow up, by-passing a more formal type of education, and spending time with their peers?

Although we need disruption in the current education system, these ideas are possibly too disruptive to be implemented en masse.
