Active Learning
What is Active Learning?
Active learning is an instructional approach where students actively engage with course content by doing something meaningful—such as discussing, solving problems, analyzing cases, writing, practicing skills, or reflecting—rather than only listening to lectures or reading passively. The goal is to increase participation, deepen understanding, and help students apply concepts.
- Builds frequent, low-stakes opportunities to practice and apply concepts (not just consume content).
- Uses quick checks for understanding (e.g., polls/quizzes) with immediate feedback to correct misconceptions early.
- Supports deeper learning through activities like scenario-based questions, case analysis, simulations, short writing, and structured reflection.
- Increases engagement and persistence by keeping students actively interacting with ideas throughout a lesson.
- Improves accessibility and participation by offering multiple ways to respond (voice, chat, anonymous responses, asynchronous options) and clear structure, prompts, and feedback.
Retreival Practice
What is Retreival Practice?
Retrieval practice is a learning strategy in which students strengthen long-term memory and understanding by actively recalling information from memory (rather than re-reading or re-watching). It often looks like short quizzes, practice questions, “brain dumps,” or brief prompts that require students to explain key ideas without using notes.
- Improves retention and transfer by strengthening memory through repeated recall over time.
- Works well as frequent, low-stakes checks (e.g., short quizzes or question banks) that keep students consistently practicing.
- Provides immediate feedback that helps students identify gaps and correct misconceptions early.
- Supports spacing and review through automated scheduling, reminders, and cumulative practice.
- Encourages metacognition by showing students what they do and don’t yet know, guiding more effective studying.
