It can be used to learn a complex concept by working through practical aspects and concrete examples and build the theory based on these steps.

Question: How to incorporate Active Learning into Zoom lectures? Works better in tutorials. Harder in Zoom lectures where we are not even sure they are present, cameras are usually off etc.

Active learning in large classes:

Question: How to incorporate active learning in large classes where we have around 100 students?

What can you do with students who cheat?

2024-06-17 01:11:05 UTC

Project based learning is great, but in this day and age, it is way to easy to just google to find answers, or post problems online and get other to solve, or use contract cheating to solve, use ChatGPT etc. This all undermines the learning process, and students avoid the thinking processes we wish them to experience.

Integrating AI with active learning

30067162 — 2024-06-17 01:11:33 UTC

There are many students using AI for their studies and it has created new opportunities and challenges. How can we use AI in active learning? Are there some programs at the university to provide professional supports to apply them in active learning via AI?

Active learning with large group of students

2024-06-17 01:13:13 UTC

How to address the questions from a large group of students when they have different needs for example: some students need more explanation on programming while some are good at programming while need more understanding on theory and concepts?

Mathematics and Statistics

2024-06-17 01:14:48 UTC

Statistics subject: We have group work each tutorial after the tutor goes through an example and then students in groups work through similar questions. Some weeks they then do a group quiz with similar questions that they have covered.

Mathematics - give them mini projects at the start of each lecture on every topic? Just to explore and think about it. Even if they don't have the required background knowledge - might encourage them to read up/learn more about it...

Can we consider the flipped class as an approach (or environment) where we can implement active learning?

Applying Knowledge Beyond the Class

jginige — 2024-06-17 01:54:18 UTC

We sometimes see students who are able to get a good grade D or HD in a subject because they are able to understand and 'apply' thei r knowledge within the context of the subject, but they are unable to apply it to anything beyond the class. Does that mean we are giving D and HDs to the wrong students? Or should we change the assessments that test this differently to how we do it now?

How do we get students there in the first place to be able to engage them, particularly in Zoom lectures, and even more especially if these lectures are recorded?
