The courses were designed to be highly participative, with ice-breakers, interactive exercises, quizzes, discussions and peer support, to ensure an active learning experience and offer learners as much feedback as possible.
The biology course design used "POGIL Fridays" to provide a more integrated active learning experience where conceptual reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and metacognitive thinking were more interlocked.
A musical instrument was developed to be used in an active learning experience (Newstetter et al. 2010) to convey the concepts of natural frequencies and mode shapes to under-graduate engineering students in the instructional laboratory.
We explore new technologies, consider social factors on motivation and learning, investigate how to create syllabi that invites and incites the student to learn, experiment with how to create active learning experiences that allow for disciplinary practice, how to use formative assessment of learning, rather than summative.
Flipped classroom strategies for CS education has been suggested as a solution for both pedagogical and financial challenges, such as creating active learning experiences with increasing financial pressures (Maher, Latulipe, Lipford, & Rorrer, 2015).
Liberal arts colleges, including Albion College where I am president, are increasingly encouraging students to build these active learning experiences into their academic and career plans.
Hawai'i Pacific University has leveraged its location in the heart of downtown Honolulu, providing students direct access to our business district, encouraging them to pursue internships and gain active learning experiences.
By allowing active learning experiences, educational games stimulate higher thinking such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation [ 4].
They appreciate active learning experiences that come out of the blue.
The same result applied for "active learning" and "experience with diversity" indices.
Here we propose a model that provides beginning biology students with an inquiry-based, active learning laboratory experience.
