GPFF-506 : Experimental New Techniques for Active Learning

Active learning is any approach to instruction in which all students are asked to engage in the learning process. Active learning stands in contrast to "traditional" modes of instruction in which students are passive recipients of knowledge from an expert. This course provides students with simple strategies that combine active learning principles with online tools so students can encounter and engage with information and ideas and reflect on their learning. These strategies apply to both small and large class sizes.
